??
And what is his best book??
The best brazilian writer is Machado de Assis imo, this is what I believe is his best book: https://www.amazon.com.br/Posthumous-Memoirs-Brás-Cubas-English-ebook/dp/B081M5RL5S
"He dedicates it to the worms gnawing at his corpse and tells of his failed romances and halfhearted political ambitions, serves up harebrained philosophies, and complains with gusto from the depths of his grave. Wildly imaginative, wickedly witty, and ahead of its time, the novel has been compared to the work of everyone from Cervantes to Sterne to Joyce to Nabokov to Borges to Calvino, and has influenced generations of writers around the world."
he has a very dark sense of humour, it kinda reminds me of this place tbh, so his sense of humour was like 100 years ahead of his time. The book is very short(a little bit more than 100 pages in the portuguese version, but longer in english), definitely worth a read.
