Dalton Trevisan
Here they are united in a coherent edition representing Brazil's modern, vibrant literature and culture. Machado de Assis, who first perfected the genre, wrote at least sixty stories considered to be masterpieces of world literature.
The evolutionary leap is unquestionable, although the precise reasons for it are unclear. Indeed, many uncertainties surround the biography of Machado, who was an intensely private person. Perhaps it's no surprise that such a man should create a body of work that prizes the puzzle above the certainty. Meyer called ambiguity Machado's most prominent theme and the translators Jake Schmitt and Lorie Ishimatsu agree, seeing it as being "in part the result of his subjective, relativistic world view, in which truth and reality, which are never absolutes, can only be approximated; no character relationships are stable, no issues are clear-cut, and the nature of everything is tenuous.
The theatre for nearly all these dramas of uncertainty is the Rio de Janeiro of the Second Empire , which sprawls from his pages as a humid, busy city full of intrigue, gossip and prejudice. Remarkably for a man who became a distinguished civil servant and founded the Brazilian Academy of Letters, Machado was the mixed race grandson of slaves slavery persisted in Brazil until the s , and received little more than an elementary education.
Growing up poor on the outskirts of Rio gave him an outsider's eye on the bourgeois Carioca society he later joined.
See a Problem?
His work tirelessly satirises their human inadequacy, by turns savagely or with an ironic compassion. That someone of his background should become Brazil's greatest writer is, as one critic has noted, as if Tolstoy, rather than inheriting Yasnaya Polyana , had been born a serf. Machado's most recent English translator, John Gledson , says the difficulty of translating him is capturing the right balance of distance, understanding and sympathy.
Trapdoors to the unexpected open constantly in his work, from the sadism of "The Hidden Cause", or the bleak violence of "Father versus Mother", to the subtle play of what Michael Wood terms his "quiet, complicated humour". Reading him prompts thoughts of so many different writers that he can only be unique. Machado's shrewd, even devious work with the point of view of his narrators positions him alongside Henry James.
Numerous stories anticipate the moral ambiguity of Chekhov's mature work, in particular "A Singular Occurrence". Finally, some of his more obviously strange works nearly all of it is strange to some degree, which is part of its brilliance evoke Borges and Kafka. Given all this, it's little wonder that writer and critic Kevin Jackson would feel confident enough to claim that Machado "invented literary modernity, sui generis".
