Would Raduan Nassar's books be too advanced for someone learning Portuguese? Also, why did he quit writing?
he got bored with it an became a landowner. but i think he donated the land to some university. read a cup of rage. it focuses on the power struggles between men and women. themes fall sort of in line with maybe strindberg or foucault, but nassar is much more brutal in his approach and style.

It's not that hard but some imagery, semantic constructions and alusions may fly over your head. You should leave him, Machado and Guimarães Rosa to when you are both fluent and confortable with speaking, reading and writing in Portuguese. They are masters in what they did and I'm not trying to put you off, but, after all, some literary experiences are reserved to natives and, to a marginal extent, those who dedicate themselves to study a language to it's most peculiar and deep senses.
If you want to somewhat spoil your future fun, I'll tell you ro start with Um Copo de Cólera and then move to Lavoura Arcaica.
Also, where are you from, lad?
