About the Author
Machado de Assis (1839-1908) is considered one of Brazil’s greatest novelists.
Review
"Epitaph of a Small Winner is probably one of those thrillingly original, radically skeptical books that will always impress readers with the force of private discovery." —From the foreword by Susan Sontag
"Machado de Assis was a literary force, transcending nationality and language, comparable certainly to Flaubert, Hardy, or James...Epitaph of a Small Winner is clearly one of those books which we call definitive. It is there, complete, done: a study of ironic disillusionment couched in the most delicate suavity of despair..." —The New York Times Book Review
"No satirist, not even Swift, is less merciful in his exposure of the pretentiousness and the hypocrisy that lurk in the average good man and woman. Machado, in his deceptively amiable way, is terrifying." —The New Republic
"A masterpiece of Epicurean irony." —The New York Times
