Dom Casmurro by Machado de AssisBravo! Magazine has compiled a list with one-hundred essential books in Portuguese. Similar lists such as Harold Bloom's also brings complications, but theoretically should be welcomed for it fosters discussion and study. How can a list with Brazilian authors exclude Adelino Magalhães, Affonso Romano de Sant'Anna, Carlos Nejar, Nélida Piñon and Salim Miguel and instead include Augusto de Campos, Haroldo de Campos, Fernando Gabeira and Visconde de Taunay amongst the one-hundred works most representative of Brazilian literature?

Interesting article! This is certainly a good list of authors and books that will help anyone to understand Brazil. I would have included something by Nélida Piñon, "Menino de Engenho", "A Hora da Estrela" and (as you mentioned) more of Rubem Fonseca, perhaps his historical fiction/police drama "Agosto" about the last month of Getúlio Vargas' life.

Thanks for your thoughtful post!
