The story goes on a little too long and ends in a muddle-the goo turns out to be ordinary Martian rain, but the pie Grandpa serves to his grandchildren in the final scene comes from an interplanetary shipping carton that is somehow translated into reality from his dream solution of exporting fallen pies to Earth. They’re all the fruit-filled sort in Monés’ illustrations, which are closely modeled on Ron Barrett’s work in the previous two Cloudy episodes and sandwich color views of Martian cities and citizens between earthly scenes in crosshatched black and white.

It was his prose in The Book of Disquiet, purportedly composed by ‘Bernardo Soares, Assistant Bookkeeper In The City Of Lisbon’. It was not Pessoa’s poetry that first struck me in my reading of his works. Zenith’s monumental work rightly elevates one of the greatest Portuguese writers to the highest posthumous pedestal, a little more than a decade shy of the centennial of his death.

The recent appearance of Richard Zenith’s massive one-thousand page biography of Fernando Pessoa, Pessoa: An Experimental Life (2021), has been widely acclaimed in the literary world. ![]() ![]() ![]() P ū ku ‘ iġ938: The Canoe Making Profession of Ancient Times: translated by Mary Kawena P ū ku ‘ i, edited by Kenneth Emory Papers of the Hawaiian Historical Society No.20ġ940: Hawaiian Planters vol.1 E.S.
