Tom Cousineau's An Unwritten Novel is a fine study of Pessoa's Book of Disquiet, the

first of its kind in any language, so far as I know. Cousineau does an excellent job of
identifying and unraveling key strands in Pessoa's work, which he then reweaves in
various patterns to illuminate Fernando Pessoa, his semi-autobiographical
persona Bernardo Soares, and their collaborative project(ion) of Disquiet. An Unwritten
Novel, well-written and well-argued, is an important contribution to Pessoa studies that
will be much appreciated by Pessoa scholars and by anyone who admires the work of
Portugal's great Modernist writer.
