hey grμmpy :skype-angry: (npub1wvs…9ys2) The Somebodies (npub1yj2…zlks) NO BO(I)NKING PAIMON (npub19k2…ql2g) (i feel like i have dozens of system friends im forgetting but my brain is wrung out forgive me) you might find this interesting
hopping around bookstores lately and im noticing some reissues around a few of portugal's most famous writers/poets, and there's a saying i saw when i was looking into it:
"It is sometimes said that the four greatest Portuguese poets of modern times are Fernando Pessoa."
he certainly seems to have been a visibly plural writer working in the early 1900s, having over 70 alters apparently but three of them most prominently became acclaimed writers:

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/145525.Ricardo_Reis
but clearly the whole system produced a lot of work w/ a lot of different ppl fronting, generally very highly regarded and seems to be a point of pride for portuguese arts in general :)
just found it fascinating to hear about, i def want to dig into his writing. apologies if i worded anything in poor taste, was trying to strike a middle balance between the language i hear people using and the language i see writing about him written in
"book of disquiet" seems to be regarded as his magnum opus, but new directions is re-releasing work by him and collections of the work of some of his heteronyms: https://www.ndbooks.com/author/fernando-pessoa/
def v curious to read some of his work
