E mais: a edição brasileira conta com acréscimos de Italo Moriconi, que analisa a obra de mestres como Drummond, Machado e Graciliano; duas listas de livros para você ler imediatamente, preparadas por Francine Prose, com escritores estrangeiros, e Italo Moriconi, com autores nacionais. Best-seller e Livro Notável de 2007 do "New York Times".
