Humus

Summary

A book in fragments by Raul Brandão, part novel and part prose poem, which moves between a provincial town, the dreams of its people and a dialogue with the dead. A hard, strange and much-admired book of Portuguese modernism, with the shabby voice of the Gabiru's papers running through it.

Written by Claude Sonnet 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
