Top Five Gonçalo M. Tavares Books
(Tavares has published forty-some books, not all of which are available in English translation, but I’ve read all of them that are. Here are my top five, in order of preference.)
The Neighborhood
Mister Brecht (a pamphlet or chapbook that’s part of the same series that constitutes The Neighborhood, and there has been an English-language translation, published by TransBooks in India, but it’s not included in the American edition)
Brief Notes on Bloom-Literature (available in the U.S. as part of a five-part volume called Reading is Walking: The Encyclopedia Series)
Joseph Walser’s Machine
Learning to Pray in the Age of Technique
