The purpose of this site is to draw out everything that comes from reading Fernando Pessoa’s The Book of Disquiet. As the reading progresses, it will inform the content of this manifesto, which will – possibly – grow and change to reflect the effect of the book on its readers. While this may read as unnecessarily pretentious, in practice, as with the case of many blogs, the entries will reflect whatever reactions and thoughts the participants care to share, provided it centers on texts from The Book of Disquiet and does not digress too far from the source. Think of it as a blog from inside the text.
Enjoy.
I just wanted to tell you, because I love your blog very much, that I have a fictional blog dedicated to Fernando Pessoa. It is an epistolary project and several of my friends write other characters and I write Fernando. It is kind of our idea of who Fernando Pessoa might have been, at least in relationships with other people. It’s pretty interesting, if I do say so myself. Just thought you might like it.
