Just finished Dom Casmurro and I'm still unsure if I can trust a word Bentinho said.

It's giving major The Good Soldier energy. What a deliciously unreliable narrator.

More Brazilian lit, please. 💙📚

Read: Ford Madox Ford: The Good Soldier (1915).
Extremely exactly deployed tragedy of manners, laying out in detail two complicated marriages. Considered one of the great novels in English. And yet it left me a little cold.
