Congratulations to the organizers of the meeting, it was a surprise for me to learn so much about a brazilian author in a foreign language, mirrors, mirrors...

Budapeste, what a great existentialist novel, Kafka would really love it!

What a great interview. I've read Paul Auster's novel "Timbuktu" many years before I read Chico Buarque's books. I am brazilian and I always thought of Chico Buarque as a great song-writer and music composer.

In the last few years I read all of his prose and it amazed me. His father and grandfather were great brazilian intelectuals, but I never casted him in that same cathegory, maybe due to my own prejudice towards popular music.

Wonderful to see Chico right here in the US, thank you so much for sharing this video! This is the very first interview by him that I get to see in English. When was he here in the US?
