do you have any recommendations for readings or memoirs or anything about non-binary identity?
yes! so, I feel obligated to share a few that I've done ––
Co/notations, an annotated essay chapbook.
Social Skills: A transdyke autie-biography in Sinister Wisdom
In Praise of -Less in AZE Journal
Others' Memoirs/Poetics:
Stacey Waite, Love Poem to Androgyny
Vivek Shraya, She of the Mountains
Akwaeke Emezi, Dear Senthuran
Eli Clare, Exile and Pride
Ivan E. Coyote, Tomboy Survival Guide
Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, Dirty River
T. Fleischmann, Time is the Thing A Body Moves Through
Sabrina Imbler, Dyke [geology]
Joan Nestle, ed., Genderqueer: Voices From Beyond the Sexual Binary [warning: this is pretty old]
Fiction [beyond Stone Butch Blues]:
Megan Milks, Margaret and the Mystery of the Missing Body
Sassafras Lowry, Roving Pack
John Elizabeth Stintzi, Vanishing Monuments
-
These are obviously not all of the gender-noncompliant/nonbinary/genderqueer/etc books I've read, nor all of the ones I recommend, but they do apply directly to your specification that they be about identity as such. Hope you find something you like!

There's a Beauty; There's a Beast Chapter One
Chapter One: Oddities of (Y/N)
            A rooster crowed, awakening the small French village. From a small house on the edge emerged (Y/N). Watching as the sky lightened, she sang as she descended the front steps of her cottage and passed through the garden.
(Y/N) “Little town, it’s a quiet village, Ev’ry day, like the one before, Little town, full of little people, Waking up to say…” (Villagers) “Bonjour! Bonjour! Bonjour! Bonjour! Bonjour!”
            As (Y/N) made her way through town, she greeted each villager kindly, even if it was not reciprocated.
(Y/N) “There goes the baker with his tray like always, The same old bread and rolls to sell.”
            Handing some money to the man, she bought a loaf and placed it in her apron.
(Y/N) “Every morning just the same, Since the morning that we came, To this poor provincial town.”
            “Good morning, (Y/N),” said a man.
            “Good morning, Monsieur Melville! Have you lost something again?” replied (Y/N).
            Melville frowned. “I believe I have. The problem is I can’t remember what.” He sighed. “Oh, well. I’m sure it will come to me. Where are you off to?”
            (Y/N) smiled, her (E/C) eyes alighting with joy. “To return this book to Monsieur Poe. It’s about to lovers in fair Verona.” As she turned and continued on her way to Edgar Allan Poe’s small library, she passed the schoolhouse where the boys were entering for lessons.
(Schoolboys) “Look there she goes, that girl is strange no question.” (Headmaster Hawthorne) “Dazed and distracted, can’t you tell?”
            Ignoring the unkind words, the attractive woman simply enjoyed the fresh air as she hopped across stones to avoid falling into a stream.
(Villagers) “Never part of any crowd, ‘Cause her heads stuck on some cloud, No denying she’s a funny one that (Y/N).”
            (Y/N) hustled through town, trying to be as quick as possible to avoid the villagers.
(Various Villagers) “Bonjour, good day, how is your family? Bonjour, good day, how is your wife? I need, six eggs, That’s too expensive!” (Y/N) “There must be more than this provincial life.”
            Finally, she entered the library of Monsieur Poe. He was sitting at his desk, writing his latest mystery with Karl sitting across his shoulders. Hearing (Y/n) enter, he looked up.
            “Ah, h-hello, you finished the b-book?” asked Poe uncertainly, pulling his book to his chest uncertainly.
            (Y/N) smiled, used to his anxious ways. “Yes, have you any new ones to read?”
            “No, my mystery is not perfected yet! You must read an old one for now,” he hurriedly said, not wanting her to read an unfinished story where they might guess to killer.
            “All right.” (Y/N) picked up her favorite book. Although not written by Poe, it was a lovely story filled with romance and adventure. As she was heading out the door, (Y/N) turned back to the write and remarked, “Your library makes our small corner of the world feel big.”
            Poe brightened at the compliment and began writing quickly, wanting to complete his book now that someone was excited for it. (Y/N) left, returning to the bustle of the village, effortlessly weaving through people even as she read the novel in their hands.
(Villagers) “Look there she goes, That girl is so peculiar, I wonder if she’s feeling well, With a dreamy, far-off look, And her nose stuck in a book What a puzzle to the rest of us is (Y/N).”
            As (Y/N) continued reading, she arrived at a particularly enjoyable passage.
(Y/N) “Oh! Isn’t this amazing! It’s my favorite part because you’ll see, Here’s where she meets Prince Charming, But she won’t discover that its him, ‘Til chapter three!”
            (Y/N) passed by a salon where two young men were looking at items in a shop.
(Margaret) “Now it’s no wonder that her name means ‘beauty,’ Her looks have got no parallel.” (Gogol and Ivan) “But behind that fair façade, I’m afraid she’s rather odd!” (Margaret) “Very different from the rest of us.” (Gogol and Ivan) “She’s nothing like the rest of us!” (Margaret, Gogol, and Ivan) “Yes, different from the rest of us is (Y/N)!”
            As (Y/N) stopped to play with a puppy, two men watched her from horseback up on a hill overlooking the village. One gazed through a jet-black spyglass that matched his shoulder length hair while the other simply rode next to him.
            “Look at her, Sigma.” The raven-haired man smirked, his eyes following (Y/N) like a predator gazes at prey. “I am determined to have her.” He lowered the spyglass, revealing deadly, red-violet eyes, and passed it to Sigma, his associate. “She is the only pure person left in this sinful land. She is an angel, and I shall not let anyone taint her.”
            “Ah, yes, but she doesn’t seem to like you, Fyodor,” Sigma said uncertainly, not wanting to make Fyodor too upset.
            Fyodor merely smirked, a sinister air settling over him not unlike the way a hunter pauses right before pouncing. “No obstacle can remain in my way for long. I always obtain what I desire, and I desire (Y/N).”
            The pair rode into town, people moving out of the way in order to let them through.
(Fyodor) “Right from the moment I met her, saw her, I said she’s angelic, and I fell, Here in town its only her, Who’s pure enough for me, So, I’m making plans to woo and marry (Y/N).”
            They ride pass the salon where the Ivan and Gogol see Fyodor and excitedly head outside to try and gain his attention.
(Ivan and Gogol) “Look, there he goes, Isn’t he dreamy? Monsieur Dostoevsky, Oh, he’s so cute! Be still, my heart, it’s hardly beating, He’s such a tall, dark, strong, and handsome brute!”
            The two men jumped back as the horses kicked mud towards. Fyodor ignored their attempts to get him to recognize them. Sigma simply glanced back and sighed.
            “It’s never going to happen,” he said, before quickly following after Fyodor.
            Fyodor walked past the botanists and bought some flowers as he glimpsed (Y/N). As they continue on their way, Fyodor hurried to push his way through to them.
(Various Villagers) “Bonjour, Pardon, Good day, Mais, oui, You call this bacon, What lovely flowers, Some cheese, Ten yards, One pound.” (Fyodor) “Excuse me.” (Villager) “I’ll get the knife.” (Fyodor) “Please let me through!” (Various Villagers) “This bread, Those fish, It’s stale, They smell, Madame’s mistaken, Well, maybe so.” (Y/N) “There must be more than this provincial life!” (Fyodor) “Just watch, I’m going to make her my wife!” (Villagers) “Look there she goes, She is so strange but special, A most peculiar girl, perhaps unwell, It’s a pity and a sin, She doesn’t quite fit in, But she really is a funny one, A beauty but a funny one, She really is a funny one, That (Y/N)!”
            Finally, Fyodor pushed to the front and caught up to the girl he’d been chasing. “Good morning, (Y/N),” he said, “How lovely to see you.”
            “Fyodor,” the (H/C)-haired beauty replied politely.
            With a charming smile that most of the singles in the village would have fallen for, Fyodor handed her the flowers he had bought. “For your dinner table. Shall I join you this evening?”
            Uncomfortable with the attention she was receiving, (Y/N) answered awkwardly, “Sorry, not this evening.”
            Hoping to catch her in a corner, Fyodor said, “Oh? Do you already have plans?” He knew full well she did not. The hunter was hoping to trap his prey.
            “Well, my father and I were planning on having a family dinner,” replied (Y/N), thinking quickly. Before Fyodor could get another word in, she walked off.
            “Moving on?” said Sigma, approaching his associate.
            Fyodor looked over at him briefly, the malice and danger in his eyes enough to quiet Sigma in a moment. “My angel is intelligent and tricky. I would not expect anything less from her. It will just make it all the more satisfying once she is mine.”
            Meanwhile, (Y/N) had finally made it home where her father was mending a music box. It depicted him and his wife back in their old home in Paris before he and his child had moved. Although an intelligent and polite man, Fukuzawa was often thought of as a snob at times by the rest of the village because he came from the city instead of growing up in the country.
(Fukuzawa) “How does a moment last forever? How can a story never die? It is love we must hold on to, Never easy, but we try, Sometimes our happiness is captured, Somehow a time and place stand still, Love lives on inside our hearts, And always will.”
            Looking up, he saw his daughter enter. “Ah, hello, (Y/N). Would you please grab the—” He was cut off when she handed him the instrument he needed to tweak the music box. “Thank you. And—.” Once again, (Y/N) held up a gear. “No—, well, that would work, thank you.”
            As (Y/N) began to clear up some of the mess of tools and pieces scattered about the table, she paused. Frowning in a questioning manner, she asked, “Father, am I strange?”
            “Strange? Why do you believe that?”
            “People talk.” (Y/N) shrugged.
            Fukuzawa sighed. He was disappointed that his daughter had to deal with these comments. “This a small village, unfortunately full of small-minded people. However, it is safe.” Seeing (Y/N)’s face fall, he continued. “In Paris, I knew a woman like yourself. People thought she was different from them and mocked her. Until, one day, they found they wanted to be just like her. It will work out, (Y/N).”
            She smiled, knowing it was a story of her mother. She could barely remember her, but understanding parts of her made (Y/N) feel not alone in her own strangness. Because of her oddities, (Y/N) had never managed to grow truly close with any of the village children, even when growing up. Feeling a sense of familiarity with her mother her extremely important. It helped ease the feeling of loneliness that sometimes descended on her after hearing townsfolks’ comments. “Can you tell me more about her?.” (Y/N) deeply desired to know more about her mother but could tell it was a tough subject for her father.
            Fukuzawa paused to think for a moment. “Your mother was…fearless. Fearless.”
            Smiling, (Y/N) continued helping him pack up so he was ready to go to market. Together, the father and child brought the boxes to the cart hitched to Philip, their horse. As Fukazawa mounted the steed, he took his daughter’ss hand.
            “What would you like from the market?”
            “A rose,” replied the (H/C-nette), “Like the one in mother’s painting.”
            Fukuzawa smiled fondly. “Every year is the same request.”
            “And every year you fulfill it,” countered (Y/N).
            “Of course.” Turning to the horse, Fukuzawa flicked the reigns as (Y/N) waved goodbye.
            (Y/N) then got to work on doing the laundry. She headed down to the washing station where few women were still working. Instead of scrubbing each piece individually, she had put soap shavings into the clothing which was then piled into a barrel pulled around by a horse. Everything then tumbled together to clean the clothes while (Y/N) had time to read. A young girl, curious and innocent, came up to her.
            “What are you doing?” asked the girl shyly, watching (Y/N)’s strange contraption go around.
            Smiling at her, the bookworm answered, “The laundry.” Seeing the girl look curiously glance at her book, (Y/N) gestured for her to come over. The girl excitedly sat down next to them. (Y/N) began slowly going through sounds with the girl, teaching her to read.
            Headmaster Hawthorne passed by and scoffed at the sight. “What on Earth are you doing? Teaching another girl to read? Isn’t one enough?”
            Other people’s attention was piqued, and the young men began to get a mean idea into their head. They grabbed the barrel full of (Y/N)’s clothing and dragged it away from the water. (Y/N) shot up and cried for them to stop, but they went ahead and dumped the clothing out onto the road. The villagers laughed cruelly as (Y/n) hurried to gather the clothing. Monsieur Poe was luckily there to assist her.
            “I’m sorry I didn’t arrive early enough to help,” said Poe quietly.
            (Y/n) shook their head. “It’s not your fault. They would have continued.” She finished gathering her stuff and quickly headed away from the crowd that had gathered.
            While the ordeal had been going on, Sigma had noticed and quickly left to alert Fyodor. The man in question was sitting in a café and sipping coffee when his servant associate approached him.
            Bowing respectfully, Sigma said, “There is a certain angel in need of rescue, sir.”
            “Wonderful,” commented Fyodor, smirking, mind already whirring with plans and strategies for getting what he desired. Calculating that (Y/N) would already be heading home, Fyodor went straight there.
            Upon seeing Fyodor, (Y/N) smiled, trying to do a simple greeting before getting inside, but alas, she had no luck.
            “I heard you had trouble with the headmaster.” Fyodor placed his hand on the (Y/N)’s garden gate, keeping her from entering. “He never liked me either. I was too clever for him.” (Y/N) pushed by him, too tired to deal with him. Frowning in annoyance at not being acknowledged, the raven-haired demon of a man followed them in. “Would you like a word of advice? These villagers will never trust the change one woman is trying to bring.”
            “All I wanted was to teach a child to read!” cried (Y/N). She felt humiliated, angry, and in no mood to deal with Fyodor’s advances.
            “And you could. You need to ally yourself with someone powerful for them to listen to you.” Fyodor moved closer, “I could bring you that. Marry me and people would listen to you.”
            “I’m not interested in marriage!” (Y/N) was disgusted. Although it was an undeniable fact that Fyodor was handsome, intelligent, and powerful, three qualities which many of the singles of the town found incredibly attractive, (Y/N) didn’t want him for a husband.
            Fyodor scoffed, gesturing around him to the village surrounding them. “Look around you. People who don’t get married are shunned. You already have experience with that. I can make all that go away.” He brushed the back of his hand down her cheek gently. “You could have everything you desire: money, revenge on those moronic villagers who wronged you, the jealousy of all others for being mine, whatever you want could be yours.”
            “I may be an outcast, but I have more self-respect than to becomes your trophy,” snapped (Y/N). She stormed past Fyodor and entered her house, slamming the door before he could get another word in.
            Fyodor turned and left. Most people would be upset at being so openly rejected, but he understood that Plan A hardly even works out as planned. Knowing that (Y/N) wasn’t tempted by power made her purer and more alluring to Fyodor. Replaying the conversation over in his head, he made note of what angered (Y/N) the most and began plotting his next attempt to seduce her to his side. This was a minor setback. After all, nothing ever stopped him from winning in the end. Nothing ever would.
            (Y/N) watched in disgust as he walked away with a cunning smirk. The (H/C-nette) was appalled at the idea of being his spouse.
(Y/N) “Can you imagine? Me, the spouse of that evil, villainous… Fyodor’s trophy, can’t you just see it? Fyodor’s trophy, his little wife? Ugh! No, sir, not me, I guarantee it, I want much more of this provincial life.”
            She gazed out her window at the rolling hills and vast forest, longing to explore and learn of all the places they’d read of.
(Y/N) “I want adventure in the great wide somewhere, I want it more than I can tell, And for once it might be grand, To have someone understand, I want so much more than they’ve got planned…”
            Sighing in defeat since her dream was most likely a hopeless one, she closed the shutters and prepared for bed as night fell. I hope Father is doing well, she thought. (Y/N) always worried for Fukuzawa when he was gone.
l
            Fukuzawa frowned as he continued through the woods. It was dark out, a storm was beginning to rage, and he had finally realized he did not recognize the woods he was in. Being lost in unfamiliar territory was dangerous, even for a man as calm and collected as Fukuzawa. When he came to a fork in the rode, he had a feeling he needed to go left, but unfortunately a tree had been struck down and lay burning. The silver-haired man had no choice but to go right, deeper into unknown land. He held the Philip’s reigns tighter as snow began to fall.
            Snow, he thought, in June…A strange occurrence indeed.
He paused when he heard a twig snap. A shadow moved in the corner of his eye. Whatever was out there was circling him. His eyes narrowed as wolves began to move onto the snowy road. One sprang at him but he beat it away with a cane he carrier with him. To avoid further conflict, he snapped the reigns, prompting Philip to race down the path. Unfortuntaley, his cart crashed. The wolves howled and ran after him. Deftly avoiding their attacks, he mounted Philip and spurred him on. Fukuzawa could not afford to pay attention to where Philip went; he was too busy watching for sneak attacks. When he glanced forward again, he saw an old castle looming ahead.
            If I can make it through this gate, it is unlikely that the wolves will follow. And then I can regroup and make it back to my dear (Y/N).
With the wolves snapping at him, Fukuzawa pushed through them and into the courtyard, leaving the wolves to growl and pant at the gates. Getting off his horse, Fukuzawa led to him to the water trough and hay bales.
            “Thank you, Philip. There seems to be everything you need here. Rest, I will speak to our unknowing host.” Giving the horse an affectionate pat on the head, the silver-haired man walked up the grand staircase. Hopefully my host is not too alarmed at such a late-night guest. I will make it known that I mean no harm to the first servant I see. Being surrounded by such dangerous woods. Surely, they would understand a traveler’s plight. Fukuzawa knocked on the doors, and they swung open. “Hello, I did not mean to intrude.” He stopped, seeing no one was there. How did the door open? Wary, he continued inward, calling out so someone would hopefully hear him. “Hello?” The sound echoed around him in the dark entry hall. “I was attacked by wolves. I’m seeking shelter from the storm.” Not even a whisper responded. No flicker of movement. Nothing to suggest people lived there. “Is anybody here?” He walked to a table and picked up the candelabra for more light. The candelabra had interested grooves and designs etched into the silver surface. It almost resembled a face. Lovely work. I must take note of such fine work next time I’m sculpting. Fukuzawa began to walk through the rooms. Occasionally he thought he saw a slight movement, but when he turned to investigate, not a soul was to be seen. He decided to try to catch what was possibly moving. He stood very still, and once he saw a tiny movement, he whirled around. The lighted candelabra went out from the sudden movement. Cursing in frustration from the darkness, he rummaged in his pockets for matches. Damn, they must have fallen out when the cart crashed.
            “Don’t worry sir! I can get it for you,” said a bright voice that seemed to come from right in front of him. Suddenly, the candelabra lit up again, revealing that the face etched in the metal was moving.
            Fukuzawa froze before collecting himself. “Ah…thank you,” he said slowly. This place is cursed! he realized in alarm. He set the living candelabra down upon a nearby table which held a clock before rushing to the door and bolting down towards Philip.
            “Tch, look what you did.” The dark wooded clock beside the candelabra commented. “Always messing everything up. It’s a miracle Dazai has kept you around this long, Atsushi. He should have broken you during one of his fits already, useless as you are”
            “I thought I was helping, Akutagawa!” said Atsushi, the candelabra, mournfully. “I never meant to scare him…”
            Outside, Fukuzawa was hurriedly mounting Philip in order to escape. Although the candelabra had seemed polite, red flags were going up in the silver-haired man’s mind. Objects becoming alive often meant curses were around, and curses were never something to mess with. As he galloped towards the gates to leave, he saw a gazebo with roses growing over it. It will only take a moment, and I promised (Y/N) one. He descended from his mount and walked into the gazebo. Fukuzawa walked into the gazebo, planning on grabbing a rose than quickly departing. He reached up once he saw a beautiful, blooming rose that he thought (Y/N) would appreciate. He plucked, not knowing it would seal his fate. A dark shadow dropped from the ceiling of the gazebo behind Fukuzawa. Philip instantly sprinted away, leaving his master. He froze, unable to move. He heard its growl from behind him as it closed in on him. (Y/N)…

15 livros que você precisa ler para se considerar um amante de livros
Para um apaixonado por livros, algumas leituras são essenciais ao longo da vida. Estas obras fundamentais contam a história da literatura, destrincham a personalidade humana e expõem as conquistas e mazelas da sociedade. Para os que desejam conhecer algumas destas obras-primas, os editores da Bula reuniram 15 ótimas indicações em uma lista.
Para um apaixonado por livros, algumas leituras são essenciais ao longo da vida. Estas obras fundamentais contam a história da literatura, destrincham os múltiplos aspectos da personalidade humana e expõem tanto as conquistas quanto as mazelas da sociedade. Para os que desejam conhecer algumas destas obras-primas, os editores da Bula reuniram 15 ótimas indicações em uma lista. Entre as selecionadas, estão alguns clássicos, como “Hamlet” (1603), de William Shakespeare; e outros exemplares mais atuais, como “O Guia do Mochileiro das Galáxias” (1979), de Douglas Adams; e “Amada” (1987), de Toni Morrison. Os livros estão organizados de acordo com a data de lançamento: do mais recente para o mais antigo.
Amada (1987), Toni Morrison
A história se passa nos anos posteriores ao fim da Guerra Civil americana. Sethe é uma ex-escrava que, após fugir com os filhos da fazenda em que era mantida, foi refugiar-se na casa da sogra. No caminho, ela dá à luz a menina Denver. Quando a sogra morre, Sethe passa a viver sozinha com Denver na casa da família, que é assombrada por espíritos. Paul, um ex-escravo, aparece para afugentar as assombrações e tudo permanece em paz até a chegada da jovem Amada, o fantasma da primeira filha de Sethe, que morreu ainda bebê. O livro ganhou o prêmio Pulitzer de 1988 e foi eleito a obra de ficção mais importante dos últimos 25 anos pelo “New York Times”, em 2006.
Meridiano de Sangue (1985), de Cormac McCarthy
Com base nos acontecimentos históricos ocorridos na fronteira entre os EUA e o México no século 19, Cormac McCarthy reinventa a mitologia do Oeste americano. A história acompanha um garoto sem nome, conhecido apenas como “kid”, que é forçado a deixar o lar ainda na infância. Para sobreviver, ele ingressa na gangue brutal do capitão John Glanton, uma companhia de mercenários que, a mando dos governantes locais, atravessa o deserto com a missão de matar o maior número possível de índios e trazer de volta seus escalpos. Glanton é acompanhado pelo juiz Holden, um personagem macabro que nunca dorme e anota em um caderno todas as suas observações cruéis.
O Conto da Aia (1985), Margaret Atwood
A história se passa em Gileade, um Estado teocrático e totalitário, localizado onde um dia existiu os Estados Unidos. Esse novo governo foi criado por um grupo fundamentalista autointitulado “Filhos de Jacó”, com o objetivo de “restaurar a ordem”. Anuladas por uma opressão sem precedentes, as mulheres não têm direitos e são divididas em categorias: esposas, marthas, salvadoras e aias. As aias pertencem ao governo e existem unicamente para procriar. Entre elas, está June, nomeada Offred, que é afastada de sua família para servir a um comandante. Apesar de ser designada para dar um filho ao seu chefe, Offred se envolve amorosamente com Nick, o motorista da família, e compartilha segredos de seu passado com ele.
O Guia do Mochileiro das Galáxias (1979), Douglas Adams
Considerado um dos maiores clássicos da literatura de ficção científica, o livro conta a história de Arthur Dent, um inglês azarado que sobrevive à destruição da Terra graças à ajuda de seu amigo, Ford Prefect, um E.T. que vivia disfarçado de ator desempregado enquanto fazia pesquisa de campo para a nova edição do Guia do Mochileiro das Galáxias, o melhor guia de viagens interplanetárias. Levado por Prefect, Arthur vive situações alucinantes viajando pelo espaço, faz novas amizades e descobre o verdadeiro sentido da vida. Esse é o primeiro volume da coleção “O Guia do Mochileiro das Galáxias”, que possui cinco livros. Adams, que também era professor e produtor de rádio, morreu em 2001.
Cem Anos de Solidão (1967), de Gabriel García Márquez
Uma das obras-primas de Gabriel García Márquez, o livro narra a fantástica e triste história da família Buendía, que vive na pequena e fictícia Macondo, ao longo de um período de cem anos. A trama acompanha as diversas gerações da família, assim como a ascensão e a queda do vilarejo em que vivem. Os Buendía nascem e morrem, vão embora ou permanecem na aldeia até seus últimos dias. O que todos possuem em comum é a luta contra a realidade e a solidão que sentem, mesmo vivendo em meio a muitos. O livro é considerado a obra que consagrou Gabriel García Márquez como um dos maiores autores do século 20.
O Mestre e Margarida (1967), de Mikhail Bulgákov
O “Mestre e Margarida” é considerado um dos grandes romances do século 20. Situado na Moscou dos anos 1930, o livro narra as peripécias de satã na cidade, acompanhado de um séquito infernal, composto por um gato falante e fanfarrão, um intérprete trapaceiro, uma bela bruxa e um capanga assustador. Seu caminho se cruza com o dos amantes Mestre e Margarida — ele um escritor mal compreendido, autor de um romance sobre Pôncio Pilatos, ela uma das personagens mais fortes da literatura russa, que, qual Orfeu, fará de tudo para reencontrar seu amado desaparecido. História de amor e desejo, sátira do mundo das letras e das pequenas e grandes vaidades humanas, além de crítica ferina, mas bem-humorada, ao regime soviético. Estima-se que a obra tenha vendido entre 90 e 100 milhões de cópias.
O Apanhador no Campo de Centeio (1951), J.D. Salinger
O livro acompanha um fim de semana da vida de Holden Caulfield, um jovem de 17 anos, estudante de um respeitado internato para rapazes, o Colégio Pencey. Ele é expulso da escola depois de tirar notas ruins, e precisa voltar mais cedo para casa no inverno. Durante o caminho de volta, o rapaz busca adiar ao máximo o encontro com os pais, fazendo uma viagem reflexiva sobre sua existência, a partir de sua peculiar visão de mundo. Antes de enfrentar os pais, ele se encontra com algumas pessoas importantes na sua vida e, junto a elas, reflete sobre as hesitações que se passam em sua mente. Desde seu lançamento, estima-se que o livro tenha vendido mais de 65 milhões de cópias.
Ficções (1944), de Jorge Luis Borges
“Ficções” reúne os contos publicados por Borges em 1941, sob o título de “O Jardim de Veredas que se Bifurcam”, e outras dez narrativas com o subtítulo de “Artifícios”. Nesses textos, o narrador inquisitivo expõe suas conjecturas e perplexidades sobre o universo, retomando motivos recorrentes em seus poemas e ensaios desde o início de sua carreira: o tempo, a eternidade, o infinito. O livro reúne alguns dos textos mais famosos de Borges, como “Funes, o Memorioso”, “A Biblioteca de Babel”, “Pierre Menard, autor do Quixote”, e “As Ruínas Circulares”. Considerado pela crítica especializada uma das obras-primas da literatura latino-americana do século 20, “Ficções” obteve, em 1961, o Prêmio Internacional de Literatura.
Pergunte ao Pó (1939), de John Fante
O livro tem como protagonista Arturo Bandini — alterego de Fante —, um sujeito ítalo-americano vivendo como aspirante a escritor em Los Angeles. Ele mora em um quarto de hotel barato, durante a década de 1930, e passa os dias caminhando pelas ruas, tentando vivenciar experiências que o inspirem a escrever um livro. Com um conto pulicado, Bandini não consegue escrever mais e, além disso, passa por muitas dificuldades financeiras. Mas, arrumar um emprego está fora de seus planos. Arturo Bandini está determinado a viver apenas de literatura, ainda que a realidade seja desanimadora. O livro também aborda a relação conturbada entre Bandini e Camilla, uma garçonete mexicana.
O Grande Gatsby (1925), de F. Scott Fitzgerald
“O Grande Gatsby” é um livro sobre a Era do Jazz nos EUA, os anos prósperos e loucos que sucederam a Primeira Guerra Mundial. Nick Carraway, um jovem comerciante, se torna amigo de seu vizinho, Jay Gatsby, um bilionário conhecido por dar festas animadas em sua mansão, em Long Island. A fortuna de Gatsby é um mistério, nenhum dos convidados das festas sabe detalhes sobre o passado do anfitrião. Um dia, Nick descobre que Gatsby só realiza esses eventos na esperança de que Daisy, sua antiga paixão, compareça a um deles por acaso. Então, o comerciante arranja um encontro entre seu amigo e Daisy. Mas, agora ela está casada com Tom Buchanan, um homem rico que tem muitas dúvidas sobre a honestidade de Gatsby.
Ulysses (1922), de James Joyce
Inspirado na “Odisseia” de Homero, “Ulysses” é ambientado em Dublin, e narra as aventuras de Leopold Bloom e seu amigo Stephen Dedalus ao longo do dia 16 de junho de 1904. Tal como o Ulisses homérico, Bloom precisa superar numerosos obstáculos e tentações até retornar ao apartamento na rua Eccles, onde sua mulher, Molly, o espera. Por meio da descrição pormenorizada de um dia na vida de um grupo de pessoas, tendo o limitado ambiente da Dublin de 1904 como enquadramento, James Joyce consegue apresentar um microcosmo de toda a experiência humana. “Ulysses” é considerado um divisor de águas na literatura, um retrato fiel e comovente do que se convencionou chamar de “o homem moderno”.
A Morte de Ivan Ilitch (1886), de Lev Tolstói
Nesta novela, Tolstói narra a história de Ivan Ilitch, um juiz de instrução que, após alcançar uma vida confortável, descobre que tem uma grave doença. A partir daí, ele passa a refletir sobre o sentido de sua existência e percebe que poucos momentos que viveu realmente tiveram significado e que seu desempenho durante a vida foi superficial, tanto no trabalho quanto nas relações sociais. Preso ao leito, diante da morte iminente, o juiz tem a oportunidade de meditar sobre sua vida, algo que as preocupações corriqueiras o impediram de fazer antes. Ivan Ilitch quer morrer para dar um fim à dor, mas seu instinto de sobrevivência insiste em fazê-lo lutar pela vida.
Grandes Esperanças (1861), de Charles Dickens
“Grandes Esperanças” é centrado em Pip, um órfão criado rigidamente pela irmã num lar humilde e disfuncional. Após herdar inesperadamente uma fortuna, ele rejeita a família e os amigos por se envergonhar da própria origem, e decide se mudar para Londres. Na nova cidade, ele conhece Estella, com quem deseja se casar. No entanto, a mulher rejeita seus sentimentos. Este livro é considerado uma das obras-primas de Charles Dickens (1812-1870). Dividido em três partes, discutindo a bondade, a culpa e o desejo de seus personagens, o romance originalmente foi escrito como um folhetim e publicado na revista literária semanal “All the Year Round”, de propriedade do próprio Dickens, entre 1860 e 1861.
Dom Quixote (1605), Miguel de Cervantes
O livro narra a história do engenhoso fidalgo Dom Quixote e de seu fiel escudeiro Sancho Pança em três incursões pelas terras da Mancha, região de Aragão e da Catalunha, na Espanha. Dom Quixote adora ler histórias de cavalaria e, de tão influenciado por elas, enlouquece e sai em busca de aventuras memoráveis, tentando imitar seus heróis favoritos e levando consigo Sancho Pança, que tem uma visão mais realista dos fatos. O clássico de Miguel de Cervantes é considerado o expoente máximo da literatura espanhola e, em 2002, foi eleito por uma comissão de escritores de 54 países o melhor livro de ficção de todos os tempos.
Hamlet (1603), de William Shakespeare
O Rei Hamlet de Dinamarca acaba de morrer, deixando seu filho, o Príncipe Hamlet, e a viúva Rainha Gertrudes. O irmão do Rei, Cláudio, logo se casa com Gertrudes, assumindo o trono. Certa noite, um fantasma aparece ao príncipe, alegando ser seu pai, e revela que foi morto por Cláudio, que o envenenou. O Príncipe Hamlet passa dias perturbado e recluso, sem saber se deve acreditar no espírito, até que descobre como saber a verdade. Ele monta uma peça de teatro encenando a morte do pai e convida toda a corte para assistir ao espetáculo. Ao ver a reação de Cláudio, que se levanta cambaleante após a cena do assassinato, Hamlet se convence de que o tio é culpado e decide se vingar.
