The Queen of the Prisons of Greece: A Novel
these look fantastic, Asmah! will these be books for February and March?
I guess these can be put into a poll along with Education By Stone: Selected Poems by João Cabral de Melo Neto, Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon by Jorge Amado, and some others. The Brazilian literature will follow Brazil in mid-March. The next Peruvian books The Bad Girl and Deep Rivers were just polled. So much to explore.
Poetry would balance the novels--suggestion The Complete Poetry: A Bilingual Edition of Caesar Vallejo.
Peru: Santiago Roncagliolo's novel Abril rojo/Red AprilBrazil: Isabela Pamelli Martins's Copadrama- A Brazilian Tragicomedy
More notable Brazilian novels by Jorge Amado are Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands, Captains of the Sands, and Tieta.By João Ubaldo Ribeiro, An Invincible Memory.
By José de Alencar, Senhora, Iracema, O Guarani, and ³¢³Ü³¦Ã´Ç±ô²¹.
Brazilian poetry and short story:An Anthology of Twentieth-Century Brazilian Poetry
Oxford Anthology of the Brazilian Short Story
The novelist Machado de Assis is also well regarded among readers of Brazilian literature.
The book of selected poems by the Brazilian poet Manoel de Barros, Birds for a Demolition, translated from the Portuguese by Idra Novey.
