I can‘t believe Dom Casmurro was written in 1899. It‘s brilliant. I read the translation by Margaret Jull Costa and Robin Patterson.

So, this is a story of love and jealousy. When MC‘s son grows up looking more and more like MC‘s best friend, he comes to the conclusion that his wife has cheated on him. He contemplates murder and suicide, but in the end just ships her and her son off to Europe 🤷‍♀️.

#readaroundtheworld #brazil #1001books A wonderful treat of a book that has the main character writing his life story in short digestible chapters that are easy for the reader to swallow. The author walks a wonderfully crafted fine line between having you believe the primary character is telling the truth or thinking of him as deluded by his own jealous rages. It also plays with some of the themes and actions of Othello.

Between #manbooker2018, #litsybuddyread, everyone backpacking across Europe, I am not sure if anyone is still doing #readaroundtheworld but I was thinking of reading Dom Casmurro for #brazil. The cover isn‘t exactly crazy Brazil colorful 🇧🇷 though.

Dom Casmurro is one of my favorite novels, simply because of the character development put forth by the brilliant de Assis (who is becoming increasingly popular in North America). I have yet to find a book that includes such profound verisimilitude in plot and character development, as de Assis continually requires the reader to fully examine the truthfulness of narration. I also adore the many similarities and allusions to Othello.
