One of my favorite books. Part journal entry, part poetry. It revolves around the writing of two men that while under different names very closely mirror Pessoa's lived experiences. They are both lonely and sort of misanthropic and lament the tedious nature of life. Dare I say a MUST read for denpas. Interesting fact; For Pessoa's life he was unknown, it was only posthumously that he gained attention for his work, relatives having discovered chests in his room of thousands upon thousands of pages. It was in these chests that The Book Of Disquiet was compiled. They are still sorting through his writing to this day, a feat made even harder by his nearly illegible penmanship.
