Uninteresting Life
by Victor Heringer
Companhia das Letras, 2021
264 pages
14×21 cm
This posthumous publication, a mix of memoir, essays, notes and chronicles written between 2014 and 2017, blends together literature, poetry, philosophy and politics.
Victor Heringer’s reflections — the luminous thoughts of a restless writer — oscillate between scathing irony and deep tenderness, never foregoing his irresistible, insightful and uniquely sensitive style, recalling Machado de Assis, Manuel Bandeira, Oswald de Andrade, Lydia Davis, Carlos Drummond de Andrade, and Hilda Hilst.
Heringer was one of the most brilliant minds of his generation and his work left an unquestionable mark on Brazilian literature.
Companhia das Letras also published Heringer’s novels Glória and O amor dos homens avulsos.
