A brilliant new translation of the Brazilian modernist epic that aims to capture the country's complex identity
Here at last is an exciting new edition of the Brazilian modernist epic Macunaíma: The Hero with No Character, by Mário de Andrade. This landmark 1928 novel follows the adventures of the shapeshifting Macunaíma & his brothers as they leave their Amazon home for a whirlwind tour of Brazil, cramming four centuries & a continental expanse into a single mythic plane. Having lost a magic amulet, the hero & his brothers journey to São Paulo to retrieve the talisman that has fallen into the hands of an Italo-Peruvian captain of industry (who is also a cannibal giant). Written over 6 delirious days—the fruit of years of study—Macunaíma magically synthesizes dialect, folklore, anthropology, mythology, flora, fauna, & pop culture to examine Brazilian identity. This brilliant translation by Katrina Dodson has been many years in the making & includes an extensive section of notes providing essential background information for this magnificent work.°°°
Mário de Andrade (Oct. 9, 1893–Feb. 25, 1945) was a poet, novelist, critic, musician, photographer & arguably the most important figure in Brazilian modernism. He was a central instigator of the 1922 Semana de Arte Moderna (Modern Art Week). De Andrade lived almost his entire life in São Paulo, where he played a central role in shaping the avant-garde sensibilities of nearly every field of Brazilian art.
Katrina Dodson’s translation of Lispector's The Complete Stories was awarded the 2016 PEN Translation Prize, the Lewis Galantière Award, & a North California Book Award.
