Another book I read when I was an early teen and didn't get; then, re read it later and finally got what all the fuss was about.
Still, if I may be completely honest, don't even think it's the best of Machado. Bentinho is too much of a damaged soul and it shows too early and too clearly. I like his Missa do galo and outros contos for instance much better.
