Dear Brian,
Thank you. You've a rare treat in store for you with Machado
de Assis.
As to what book of mine I'd suggest, I suppose it depends
upon your taste. My best novels are (to my mind) Eye of the
Cricket, Ghost of a Flea and Cypress Grove. My wife's
favorite is Moth. I've a soft spot in my heart for the Himes
biography and my collection of poems, Sorrow's Kitchen.
Some of the kids may be ugly or a bit peculiar, but we love
them all....
Jim
