{"product_id":"presence-of-pessoa-george-monteiro-9780813120539","title":"Presence of Pessoa","description":"\u003cp\u003eFernando Pessoa (1888--1935) is perhaps the most engaging of the great Western modernists of this century. Born in Portugal but raised and educated in southern Africa, Pessoa wrote poetry, fiction, and nonfiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorge Monteiro provides refreshingly new interpretations of Pessoa's \u003ci\u003eMensagem\u003c\/i\u003e ( \u003ci\u003eMessage\u003c\/i\u003e) and the modernist novella \u003ci\u003e0 Banqueiro Anarquista\u003c\/i\u003e ( \u003ci\u003eThe Anarchist Banker\u003c\/i\u003e). But he is primarily interested in tracing Pessoa's influence on a wide range of contemporary writers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong those Monteiro finds putting Pessoa's work to their own surprising -- and sometimes comic -- uses are Joyce Carol Oates, Allen Ginsberg, John Wain, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and earlier poets including Thomas Merton, Edouard Roditi, and Roy Campbell. In addition, the complete text of Campbell's pioneering biocritical study of Pessoa is published here for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Monteiro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813120535\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813120539\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Kentucky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.81h x 5.73w x 0.78d","brand":"George Monteiro","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44059815280895,"sku":"9780813120539","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3e64dbdd-ef70-4fe4-beba-2618a2bf7230.jpg?v=1685060501","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/presence-of-pessoa-george-monteiro-9780813120539","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
