Review:
"THE SELECTED PROSE showcases its author's fecundity and range...Having just begun reading Pessoa, I find myself utterly caught up by his melancholy wit and congenial temperament. Yet I instinctively speak as if he were a single author when he is, in fact, a whole library: If you don't care that much for Ricardo Reis, you may still like Alberto Caeiro or Alexander Search. And if you've never read Fernando Pessoa at all or have only heard a little about his remarkable genius, you may find, as I have, that he is one of those writers as addictive, and endearing, as Borges and Calvino. Certainly adventurous readers will want to explore this astonishing life's work."
Michael Dirda, Washington Post Book World, 07/22/2001
Review:"Any number of books could have been made from the ruined album of his papers, but Zenith's selection is beautifully translated, compact while appropriately diverse, and another of its virtues is that it gives an account of a life that makes up in fascination what it lacks in outward event."
Benjamin Kunkel, Los Angeles Times Book Review, 09/30/2001

The Selected Prose of Fernando Pessoa (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780802139146) Pessoa, Fernando Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Grove Press / Atlantic Monthly Press, United States, 2002. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 208 x 141 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. The Washington Post Book World has written that Fernando Pessoa was "Portugal's greatest writer of the twentieth century [though] some critics would even leave off that last qualifying phrase" and "one of the most appealing European modernists, equal in command and range to his contemporaries Rilke and Mandelstam." The Selected Prose of Fernando Pessoa spans playful philosophical inquiry, Platonic dialogue, and bitter intellectual scrapping between Pessoa and his many literary alter egos ("heteronyms"). The heteronyms launch movements and write manifestos, and one of them attempts to break up Pessoa's only known romantic relationship. Also included is a generous selection from Pessoa's masterpiece, The Book of Disquiet, freshly translated by Richard Zenith from newly discovered materials. The Selected Prose of Fernando Pessoa is an important record of a crucial part of the literary canon.
