Publisher Comments:"After looking for him in the poems, we search for him in the prose. The pursuit of the Other in Pessoa's work is never-ending,"writes Edwin Honig. Essential to understanding the great Portuguese poet are the essays written about (and by) his heteronyms-Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis, and Alvaro de Campos-the several pseudonyms under which he wrote an extraordinary body of poetry. In Always Astonished, Pessoa and his several selves debate and discuss one another's work, revealing how Portuguese modernism was shaped. Fernando Pessoa is one of the great voices of twentieth-century literature, and these manifestos, letters, journal notes, and critical essays range through aesthetics, lyric poetry, dramatic and visual arts, and the psychology of the artist. He gives us, too, a singularly heterodox political position in his strange work of fiction, The Anarchist Banker. Synopsis:"After looking for him in the poems, we search for him in the prose. The pursuit of the Other in Pessoa's work is never-ending, " writes Edwin Honig. In these writings Pessoa's autobiographical notes disclose how his heteronym selves burst into creative life. Here, too, are literary manifestos, selections from letters and journals, a captivating work of fiction. The Anarchist Banker, and critical essays by his several selves, who write on the arts and literature, often discussing one another's work.
