Praise for author Machado de Assis

"Machado de Assis is a kind of miracle." --Harold Bloom

"I am astonished that a writer of such greatness does not yet occupy the place he deserves." --Susan Sontag

"Machado retrieves from Cervantes the origins of the novel as illusion, play, ambiguity and adventure."--K. David Jacks on, The New York Times Book Review
