A rule-breaking masterpiece distilling the entire human comedy into brief chapters

Month

March, 2025

Author and date

Machado de Assis, 1881

The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas, also translated as Epitaph of a Small Winner, is a novel by Brazilian writer Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis. The book presents the memoir of its protagonist, Brás Cubas, as told from beyond the grave.

The novel has a unique style of short, erratic chapters that shift in tone and style. Instead of the clear and logical construction of a typical nineteenth-century realist novel, it uses surreal devices of metaphor and playful narrative construction.
