📚 Book Review: The Worst of Álvaro
📖 Author(s): Álvaro

💭 My Thoughts:

🇵🇹 Claramente uma obra algo distante do melhor que Álvaro já produziu, mas ainda assim considero que aquilo que torna este autor único continua bem presente. A forma crua de olhar para a realidade e de criticar a sociedade através de um humor sarcástico.

Aliás, a personalidade de Álvaro fica bem vincada logo na introdução, quando fala do seu passado como arquiteto e das experiências de corrupção e de práticas menos corretas que testemunhou no seio das estruturas de governação local. Experiências que acabaram por contribuir para o seu afastamento da profissão.

É esta forma de estar que faz dele um dos meus autores portugueses favoritos, e é esta resignação perante os podres da sociedade que torna as suas obras tão divertidas. Porque, no final do dia, é preferível rir do que chorar e, por vezes, o humor é a melhor forma de expor aquilo que está errado na sociedade.

🇬🇧 Clearly a work that falls somewhat short of the best Álvaro has produced, but I still feel that what makes this author unique is very much present here. His raw way of looking at reality and criticising society through sarcastic humour.

In fact, Álvaro’s personality comes through clearly from the very introduction, where he talks about his past as an architect and the experiences of corruption and questionable practices he witnessed within local government structures. Experiences that ultimately contributed to him leaving the profession.

It is this way of looking at the world that makes him one of my favourite Portuguese authors, and this resigned attitude towards society’s darker side is what makes his work so entertaining. Because, at the end of the day, it is better to laugh than to cry, and sometimes humour is the best way to expose what is wrong with society.
