you still can't find work---OMG

"The Book of Disquiet" by Fernando Pessoa Pessoa worked on "The Book of Disquiet" most of his life and still never really finished it. When Pessoa died a trunk filled with writings was found, some with clear notes as to how they were to be published, others without, and Pessoa scholars and editors have been trying to make sense of it all since. Making sense of Pessoa is not the easiest job in the world as he wrote under a myriad (at least seventy-five) of "heteronyms". His heteronyms (as opposed to pseudonyms) are fictional authors with their own literary styles, opinions and biographical details, some of whom were very prolific, others who wrote very little. "The Book of Disquiet" was written by Pessoa's semi-heteronym Bernard Soares, although some scholars claim it was actually begun by another heteronym, Vicente Guedes, who wrote quite a lot of poetry. Bernard Soares might have been his reincarnation, although Guedes' death is disputed. Confused? Reading the book doesn't clear any of it up, but it's a fascinating rumination on everything and nothing. "Blindness" (1995) by José Saramago is a more straightforward novel, although Saramago has a set of idiosyncrasies all of his own. "Perseguição" is one of Amália Rodrigues', the Queen of Fado, most popular songs. Portuguese football coach José Mourinho is often referred to as "the special one", especially by himself.
