An Unwritten Novel: Fernando Pessoa's The Book of Disquiet

"Anything and everything, depending on how one sees it, is a marvel or a hindrance, an all or a nothing, a path or a problem," says Bernardo Soares, the putative author of Fernando Pessoa's classic The Book of Disquiet. Thomas Cousineau's An Unwritten Novel offers the general reader, as well as students and teachers, an "Ariadne's thread" that will help them to find their way through this labyrinthine masterpiece: a self-proclaimed "factless autobiography" in which all the expected elements of the contemporary novel remain "unwritten."
