Roberto Schwarz is the foremost literary critic of his generation
in Brazil and the most important Marxist practitioner in the
tradition of the Frankfurt School writing anywhere today. This
collection confirms the international significance of Schwarz's
critical achievement. Studies of Kafka and Brecht respectively open
and close the volume, which includes incisive studies of
contemporary poetry and fiction in Brazil. The centerpiece is the
hitherto untranslated Two Girls, which brings together two strongly
contrasting narratives of girls' lives-one a classic novel, the
other an adolescent's diary-to substantiate the crucial concept of
objective form. With key reflections on theory and method and an
illuminating account of the general historical importance of his
exemplary Brazilian novelist, Machado de Assis, Two Girls
compellingly demonstrates the logic and significance of Schwarz's
work for an English-language readership.
