Hailed as \"the greatest writer ever produced in Latin America\" (Susan Sontag), Machado's genius is on full display in this fresh translation of the 1899 classic \u003cem\u003eDom Casmurro\u003c\/em\u003e. In his supposed memoir, Bento Santiago, an engaging yet unreliable narrator, suspects his wife, Capitu, of having an affair with his closest friend. Withdrawn and obsessive, our antihero mines the origins of their love story: from childhood neighbors playing innocently in the backyard to his brief spell in a seminary to marriage and the birth of their child--whom, he fears, does not resemble him. A gripping domestic drama brimming with Machado's signature humor, this is another stunningly modern tale from the progenitor of twentieth-century fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liveright Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/23\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781324090700\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42783739248821,"sku":"9781324090700","price":23.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_4b403bb3-a085-4ed7-ac12-f6943db8e2bb.jpg?v=1680015059","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/dom-casmurro-9781324090700","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
