In a Portuguese site [ http://ffms.pt/xxi-ter-opiniao/artigo/664/uma-leitura-da-europa-ou-conrad-nabokov-lispector#login ] José Tavares writes a note about "UMA LEITURA DA EUROPA OU: CONRAD, NABOKOV, LISPECTOR" [2014 CRÓNICAS|EUROPA 12345(0)] in which he brings together Joseph Conrad, Vladimir Nabokov and Clarice Lispector, writers who were born in Eastern Europe (Berdichev, Ucraine; St. Petersburg; Tchetchelnik, Ucraine) to inquire if it is possible to understand something about Europe by their writings (in a second language), outside of Europe? (Será possível entender algo da Europa através destes três europeus daquele Leste que quase escorrega para fora do sombreado das notas de euro, três escritores oriundos de uma Europa que adormeceu brevemente para lá da Cortina de Ferro, que se transformam impelidos por viagens extraordinárias para o outro, o outro europeu e o outro extra-europeu?). I confess that the question seems to me rather vaguely phrased and that I don't see many points in common between the three.
