520 8 $aFernando Pessoa wrote prolifically in many genres until his untimely death in 1935, and he has long been widely recognized as Portugal's most influential 20th century writer. The publication of the 'Book of Disquiet' in 1982, however, caused a seismic change in the appreciation of his work and its place in Modernism. In that great and vast collection of fragments, Pessoa firmly established his place among the canon of European modernists and radically questioned many of modernity's assumptions. Alain Badiou, for example, has argued that philosophers are not yet able to assimilate Pessoa's thinking. Paulo de Medeiros's study takes up that challenge, exploring the text's connections with photography, film, politics and textuality itself, and developing comparisons with D.H. Lawrence, Walter Benjamin, and Franz Kafka.
