In Brazil, worse than noticing the disappearance of great authors due to blatant editorial collusion, is noticing the disappearance of those who, without any editorial opposition, disappear from the shelves exclusively due to the pettiness of their heirs. This is unbelievable, especially in a country whose greats are few, and given that the heirs will certainly lose out by clinging to such pettiness. It is infuriating to note that, when the author dies, his work is reduced to something like a pecuniary product, whose function is to generate some money for the “heirs”, when, in fact, the money is minimal, and the true heirs are deprived by law of the real legacy. It’s a tear-jerker!
