This book number 5 or 6 that I read from him. One of my favorite authors. Portuguese-language writer from Angola. This one is a collection of essays and diary entries. Most are from 2010s, so interesting to read his takes on events from recent past.
Can anyone in book publishing explain to me why the UK bookcover seems to always be better than the U.S. cover for books? Is it because the US one comes out first?
This is the best history book I’ve read—more so in terms of the quality of the writing. Dr. Perry writes really poetic, but she isn’t flowery; poetic in how her command of figurative language gets at the essence of things that direct prose might not.
