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 Notes Print version record Subject Pessoa, Fernando, 1888-1935 -- Influence Pessoa, Fernando, 1888-1935 -- Appreciation -- Great Britain Pessoa, Fernando, 1888-1935 -- Appreciation -- United States Pessoa, Fernando, 1888-1935 -- Appreciation -- Africa, Southern SUBJECT Pessoa, Fernando, 1888-1935 fast Subject English literature -- Portuguese influences.
