fernando pessoa no the new york

Em Agosto de 2017 a revista The New York publicou um interessante artigo sobre Fernando Pessoa.

If ever there was a writer in flight from his name, it was Fernando Pessoa. Pessoa is the Portuguese word for “person,” and there is nothing he less wanted to be. Again and again, in both poetry and prose, Pessoa denied that he existed as any kind of distinctive individual. “I’m beginning to know myself. I don’t exist,” he writes in one poem. “I’m the gap between what I’d like to be and what others have made of me. . . . That’s me. Period.”

The New Yorker, By Adam Kirsch
