As for that "novel Lira never finishes", it's about two people driving a third to suicide, who in turn plotted a posthumous revenge (does this count as zombie like? He's dead but his actions aren't, you see?) - which then turns into a clusterfuck. No orphans, and the only Asians in the story are there simply because I needed doppelgängern of opposite sexes but with the same name.
Let's face it, if people wanted to learn Japanese, they'd pick up a textbook, not a bloody novel
Edit: By the way, I really liked it when he said "[g]ullibility is a knife at the throat of civilization" |
I hate to tell you this but a calendar of topless Asians with some Kierkegaard quote at the bottom does not count as a philosophy book.
If you manage to write a philosophy book I like then I'll author the book about a Japanese orphan in Brazil who connects with his foster parents by exploring the grammar of his native language.
And I hope (for your own good; if it's in Portugeese no one will read it) that your novel lives up to your claim and has some David Wong-ish absurd brilliancy in it. That plot could be interesting or boring, depending on whether you focus on what you quoted from John dies or on this:
I knew a man
No, I made that part up
Hair! Hair! Haaairrr!
Camel Holocaust! Camel Holocaust!
