‘K. David Jackson’s rigour and energy makes this... a useful handbook for the close study of Machado.’—Miranda France, Times Literary Supplement.
“I am astonished that a writer of such greatness does not yet occupy the place he deserves.” – Susan Sontag
“Machado de Assis was a literary force, transcending nationality and language, comparable certainly to Flaubert, Hardy, or James.” – Dudley Fitts, New York Times Book Review
“No satirist, not even Swift, is less merciful in his exposure of the pretentiousness and the hypocrisy that lurk in the average good man and woman. Machado, in his deceptively amiable way, is terrifying.” – The New Republic
“K. David Jackson’s essential book, the first comprehensive study in English of Machado de Assis, maps the extraordinary range of literary and musical sources that are key to this altogether extraordinary writer.”—Darlene Sadlier, Indiana University
