Even the least experienced reader suspects that, although writers of all times and places have devoted themselves to trying to define love, it is perhaps unlikely that anyone has ever chosen to end a sentence begun with the expression “love is” with the word “fucked.” Love usually has, despite everything, a good press—which, come to think of it, is incomprehensible. To say that love is fucked is, finally, to treat it as it deserves. It is to summarize, for those who do not want to waste time with erudite euphemisms, the etymology of the word passion.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut perhaps O Amor É Fodido is less a story than a thesis. A suggestion about a way of speaking. A hypothesis about the way of dealing, both literarily and otherwise, with love. A proposal that questions whether it is appropriate to describe a terrifying disease with meter and rhyme and that therefore proposes a kind of anti-lyricism. Or, perhaps more precisely, an anti-lyrical lyricism. According to this thesis, to say that love is a fire that burns unseen is what is obscene. Noting that it is fucked is mere innocence.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom the preface by Ricardo Araújo Pereira\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMiguel Esteves Cardoso (b. 1955) \u003c\/strong\u003eis a writer, columnist, and an influential figure in contemporary Portuguese culture.
