About this book

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. ## Related reading If this resonates, you might also reach for [The Argonauts](/products/the-argonauts/), [The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair](/products/the-truth-about-the-harry-quebert-affair/), or [A Small Place](/products/a-small-place/).
