Fernando Pessoa (1888--1935) is perhaps the most engaging of the
great Western modernists of this century. Born in Portugal but
raised and educated in southern Africa, Pessoa wrote poetry,
fiction, and nonfiction.
George Monteiro provides refreshingly new interpretations of
Pessoa's Mensagem (Message) and the modernist novella 0 Banqueiro
Anarquista (The Anarchist Banker). But he is primarily interested
in tracing Pessoa's influence on a wide range of contemporary
writers.
Among those Monteiro finds putting Pessoa's work to their own
surprising-and sometimes comic-uses are Joyce Carol Oates, Allen
Ginsberg, John Wain, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and earlier poets
including Thomas Merton, Edouard Roditi, and Roy Campbell. In
addition, the complete text of Campbell's pioneering biocritical
study of Pessoa is published here for the first time.
