As Raymond Williams stressed, literature and the city have been closely entwined within the fabric of world culture at the very least since Dickens, Baudelaire and Dostoyevsky. In the Portuguese linguistic context, readers may wander through Lisbon between the lines of the Book of Disquiet, by Fernando Pessoa and at least two of his semi-heteronyms, Bernardo Soares and Vicente Guedes. The article proposes reading this book-fragment as Lisbon's 'book of record' in the sense advocated by Walter Benjamin and Renato Cordeiro Gomes -a work that distills the urban experience of the individual at a time of discontent (thinking along with Freud). Drawing on three different editions of the Book -Perrone-Moisés (1986), Pizarro (2013) and Rita Lopes (2015) - the article invokes the concept of multiplicity (Italo Calvino) to explore how personal selves engage with the Lusitanian capital. The approach blends with the theoretical concept of disquiet, as a tool for thinking about prose and the city within the'short' twentieth century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
