Published 2015 (English Edition), published 2012 (Portuguese Edition) “If I had the space, the charcoal, and available walls, I could compose a great work about forgetting: a general theory of oblivion.” I read this in the original Portuguese when it came out in 2012. And as soon as I got the En...
I picked this book up at the library because I loved the cover and after reading the synopsis, I knew I had to know more.
