## About
Composed of hundreds of fragments found after Pessoa's death, this 'autobiography without facts' explores alienation, creativity, and the nature of selfhood. The semi-fictional narrator Bernardo Soares meditates on Lisbon's streets with poetic precision. This definitive English translation captures Pessoa's melancholy beauty and queer subtext.
