Os Infinitos – John Banville

Para mim, uma história um pouco confusa, pois o narrador é variável – hora é um Deus – Hermes, hora é o homem que está morrendo – Adam, nome também do filho do moribundo. Os deuses – Zeus e Pan, assim como também Hermes, acabam “participando” da história na medida em que um se enamora pela mulher de Adam, fingindo-se de Adam, e outro acaba aparecendo como um amigo do moribundo, um matemático, criador de um conceito – o ovo de ouro de Brahma, “de cuja gema rompida surgiu toda a criação”.

I’m really enjoying Eclipse by John Banville at the moment. I couldn’t find a high-res image of the cover so here is a picture of Camberwell cemetery.

Banville writes so beautifully; every sentence is an elegiac little poem: ‘Listening shadows hung in the high room.’ Occasionally it gets a bit much (but maybe deliberately so?). I feel like characters in Banville novels can never just go for a pint, they always have to attend the cromulent bar, imbibing libation after libation of effervescent pilsner, the shadows of the past etching themselves into the darkened corners of the inner pub. Both are pretty cool to be fair.
