"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist." Verbal Kint, The Usual Suspects, by way of Baudelaire.Living is a very dangerous business as our narrator Riobaldo never tires of reminding us.And who would know it better than this seasoned jagunço*, recalling a bloody past mostly spent fighting/overthrowing rival bands of outlaws in the Brazilian sertão**. There are good bandits and there are bad bandits & sometimes it's hard to tell the difference - theHow did Guimarães Rosa not get a Nobel Prize?This is an ubiquitous question. Academics all around the world, from Slovenia to Japan, are simply dazzled by the fact that this man, without a doubt the most talented Brazilian writer of all time, did not receive the prize. If you put aside Veredas, you still have at least four of his books that are worth a lifetime of reading. If you include Veredas, which can be seen as the Brazilian Faust, there is simply no excuse: Rosa was one of the best
I found out about this book from the World Library's list of the 100 Best Books of All Time (http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/94...). It appears that the only English edition is flawed, and out of print anyway ($275 USD on Amazon for a used copy!). Lamentably, I have to surrender to the realization that I will not be reading this book unless a new translation comes along.
The Devil to Pay is the first Brazilian novel that I've ever read and it is one of the most explicit and beautiful explorations of gender and sexuality in literature: particularly of masculinity and male love. (It's a shame that it's out of print.)In short, the narrator is Riobaldo who, like Scheherazade from One Thousand and One Nights, seems to be storytelling as away to save his life. The narrative is winding, out of order, repetitive and somewhat unreliable but it functions as a way to learn
Can you sell your soul to the devil?Firstly: My spoilers won't disclose the surprising end. They are merely my humble opinion on determined parts of the book.Grande Sertão: Veredas (The Devil to Pay in the Backlands) is a subjective challenge to the reader to judge - or not - Riobaldo's choices, as he takes to judges himself, taking one through a plethora of mixed feelings that are deconstructed and reconstructed in 600 pages of a tumultuous novel.In a monologue, written with mystical colors,
This book is one good reason to learn Portuguese. Difficult but rewarding reading. I've heard educated Brazilians say Guimaraes Rosa writes in such a way that even a native speaker is constantly surprised by his use of language, so I have learned to be comfortable in my occasional confusion.
Grande Sertão is the story of Riobaldo, a jagunço, one of the many warriors that roamed the great plains of northeastern Brazil during the 19th and 20th century, dispersing justice where the government had no eyes or power. Wandering across the sertão with other jagunços, Riobaldo lived without a home, without relatives, without any clear direction, doubting God and the devil, doubting everything. There was only one thing he really cared for: his friendship with Diadorim, his fellow jagunço, his
