"You might not see all the authors or works you would like to see on this list. I've skipped the famous Paulo Coelho and his well-known The Alchemist in favor of novels the casual reader is less likely to know. Some fantastic books by Brazilian authors were written in English, so they aren't "in translation" — for example, graphic novel Daytripper by Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá.
And, as with all of these lists, there were authors I had to leave off the list because they either weren't translated or their work was no longer in print — for example, I spent quite a while trying to find book-length translations of the work of Lygia Fagundes Telles, who was Brazil's official nominee for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016, and who many consider to be Brazil's greatest living writer."
