In Our Time · Machado de Assis · 9 Jul 2026 podcast

So there are more articles.

And for me, Machado is the type of writer that teaches how to read and how to doubt narratives, which is something very important nowadays.

So he teaches us basically how to be...

not to trust the media system.

So he's writing novels, he's writing for periodicals, he's criticising the information that is circulating in Brazilian periodicals all the time, he's mocking those who actually own the newspapers, the bookshops.

And this is an excellent reading skill to acquire.

So we can read his novels for that reason, but also just for the pleasure of his prose, which is so diverse, witty, ironic.

And readers who enjoy Maupassant, Gogol, Jane Austen, Dickens, they are going to find something interesting in Machado and enjoy the prose by itself.

Since I cannot choose Don Casmurro, I'm not going to repeat it.

I would say Father Against Mother and another short story in which, you know, the main character is a woman, a chapter on hats.

They all have been translated into English.

So you can see the both sides of Machado.

You can also learn a lot about Rio de Janeiro, social life.

in the old town of Rio de Janeiro who had consumer habits in Rio de Janeiro with chapter on head.

Yes.
