This was a fun haul! Love Don Quixote. I really, really need to get to Bras Cubas and Clarice Lispector. The Palace of Illusions has been on my TBR for ages. That cover is beautiful, and the mythology aspect sounds amazing!

After watching some of your videos, I recommend you start with Apple in the Dark or Near to the wild Heart. I think you'll like Clarice.

Oh my, this is so satisfying! I found myself learning wonderful tidbits about each work throughout. Thank you for throwing up various factoids from time to time and for your enthusiastic embrace of wide-ranging worldly literature. A phenomenal collection here (I know I'm going to love Clarice Lispector, but I haven't gotten around to her works yet)! [Also, I hope you saw my reply to your comment in my poetry video.]

Which one of Woolf's novels is your favorite? That would help me tell you where to start with Clarice. Yes, I saw your reply, and its been marinating in my mind.

@@TheLinguistsLibrary Oh, easily The Waves is my favorite of hers. It's poetic, abstract, highly experimental (perhaps her most experimental), close-knit to interiority, elongated across decades of time, yet tight to time in fragments of impressions. I adore that work (will probably make a video on it when I push myself to).

Really interesting choices! I enjoyed hearing about many of them for the first time, especially the Lusiads and Canzoniere! Btw I looked up that manuscript of the Canzoniere (Vat.lat.3195) and I saw some familiar words and even read 'Benedecto' with a 'ct' cluster in the summary of the contents page, so for a minute I assumed it was Latin instead of Italian, before realizing I couldn't understand it! My mind may also be messing with me for staying up late haha.

Petrarca wrote some stuff in Latin in too, the manuscript 3196 is in Latin I believe. But yes, Canzoniere is in Italian.

I just adore the Seamus Heaney verse translation of Beowulf - so dramatic & vivid. I am also about to launch into Lispector, can't wait, I have the bio on her too. I love Woolf, so can't wait to see what Lispector does with stream-of-consciousness. Le Guin is incredible. I, however, haven't read 'Lavinia' so, thanks for this alert. I will search it out.

This is the first time I'll be reading Howell D Chickering, Jr's translation and commentary, I'm buzzing about it. I know you'll love Clarice, her most experimental stuff is probably Agua-Viva and Passion according to GH. What didn't Le Guin write about? The woman was an icon!
