Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
First published in 1982, this is the "factless autobiography" of Bernardo Soares, one of the 72 literary personae or "heteronyms" with which Fernando Pessoa created the theatre of his absence. The circular text returns again and again to a protagonist desperate to find out who he is.
Review:
"What we have in THE BOOK OF DISQUIET is one of the oddest fish in literature's net. Largely unpublished in its author's lifetime, it has become one of the defining texts of the modern world, precisely because of its protean nature - every edition is radically different. Monstrously unlikely in itself, it is an impossible work of the kind that Borges might have imagined - a 'factless autobiography', as Pessoa puts it, or the dream book of a man who dislikes dreams. Richard Zenith - a name that itself sounds strikingly like one of Pessoa's anglophone personae- has done an heroic job in producing the best English-language version we are likely to see for a long time, if ever."
Nicholas Lezard, Guardian (London), 06/09/2001
Review:"The translation is at once penetrating and delicately observant of Pessoa's astute melancholy...This is not a book to be read quickly or, necessarily, in sequence. Wherever you dip, there are 'rich hours' and teasing depths. But it will, indeed, be a banner year if any writer, translator or publisher brings to the reader a more generous gift. "
George Steiner, Guardian (London), 06/03/2001
