Review:
'Chico Buarque has crossed a chasm with his writing, and arrived at the other side. To the side where one find work executed with mastery ... something new has happened in Brazil with this book.' Jose Saramago 'Perhaps the most beautiful of Chico's three mature books, Budapest is a labyrinth of mirrors whose resolution comes, not in the plot, but in the words, like in poems.' Caetano Veloso
