  Sasha Sokolov

  Sasha Sokolov (born Александр Всеволодович Соколов/Alexander Vsevolodovitch Sokolov on November 6, 1943, in Ottawa, Canada) is a paradoxical writer of Russian literature.
  
  He became known worldwide in the 1970s after his first novel A School for Fools had been published by Ardis Publishing (Ann Arbor, Michigan) in the US, and later reissued by Four Walls Eight Windows. Sokolov is one of the most important authors of 20th-century Russian literature. He is well acclaimed for his unorthodox use of language, playing with rhythms, sounds and associations. The author himself coined the term "proeziia" for his work—in between prose and poetry.
  
  Sokolov is a Canadian citizen and has lived the larger part of his life so far in the United States. During

  Georges Perec

  Miguel de Unamuno

  Miguel de Unamuno y Jugo was born in the medieval centre of Bilbao, Basque Country, the son of Félix de Unamuno and Salomé Jugo. As a young man, he was interested in the Basque language, and competed for a teaching position in the Instituto de Bilbao, against Sabino Arana. The contest was finally won by the Basque scholar Resurrección María de Azcue.
  
  Unamuno worked in all major genres: the essay, the novel, poetry and theatre, and, as a modernist, contributed greatly to dissolving the boundaries between genres. There is some debate as to whether Unamuno was in fact a member of the Generation of '98 (an ex post facto literary group of Spanish intellectuals and philosophers that was the creation of José Martínez Ruiz — a group that includes An

P. Lovecraft, he brought out his first novel Extension du domaine de la lutte in 1994. Les particules élémentaires followed in 1998 and Platefo

  José Saramago

  José de Sousa Saramago (16 November 1922 – 18 June 2010) was a Portuguese novelist and recipient of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Literature, for his "parables sustained by imagination, compassion and irony [with which he] continually enables us once again to apprehend an elusory reality."

  Jorge Sousa Braga

  Licenciado em Medicina, nasceu em Vila Verde, Braga em 1957. Exerce a especialidade de Obstetrícia num hospital do Porto. A sua obra poética tem vindo a revelar-se de uma criatividade notável, sendo notório desde o primeiro livro De Manhã Vamos Todos Acordar Com Uma Pérola No Cu, de 1981, uma abordagem da temática dos Descobrimentos e da portugalidade sempre tomada pelo lado irónico e surrealista, com ressonâncias do movimento Beat, de São Francisco. A sensualidade - e a sexualidade, - em poemas íntimos e por vezes extremos bem como a sua paixão pela poesia oriental têm-no levado a escrever haikus em língua portuguesa com assinalável perfeição. Incansável leitor de poesia verteu para português poemas de Jorge Luis Borges, Matsuo Bashô, Li P
