Then let's see your writing, loudmouth. I doubt you'd write like that though. All the horror elements are so un-Lira-y. So what's that book about you said you're writing? I bet some sad story about an orphan. And something about the Japanese language.
But no Zombies. :(
Actually, didn't I promise to write you a philosophy book you'd actually enjoy? I'm halfway through the introduction now :p
As for that "novel Lira never finishes", it's about two people driving a third to suicide, who in turn plotted a posthumous revenge (does this count as zombie like? He's dead but his actions aren't, you see?) - which then turns into a cluster. No orphans, and the only Asians in the story are there simply because I needed doppelgängern of opposite sexes but with the same name.
Let's face it, if people wanted to learn Japanese, they'd pick up a textbook, not a bloody novel :p

I hate to tell you this but a calendar of topless Asians with some Kierkegaard quote at the bottom does not count as a philosophy book.
If you manage to write a philosophy book I like then I'll author the book about a Japanese orphan in Brazil who connects with his foster parents by exploring the grammar of his native language.
And I hope (for your own good; if it's in Portugeese no one will read it) that your novel lives up to your claim and has some David Wong-ish absurd brilliancy in it. That plot could be interesting or boring, depending on whether you focus on what you quoted from John dies or on this:
I knew a man
No, I made that part up
Hair! Hair! Haaairrr!
Camel Holocaust! Camel Holocaust!

That's not quite what I had in mind, but I'd love it!

No way I'm going to write it in Portuguese. I despise "High Portuguese", and I doubt I can debut writing in my own dialect. Besides, the average Brazilian reads 1 book a year. I'm willing to bet at least half of these are religious tomes. What's the point of working so hard for something no one will ever read - even if it's just to say it's rubbish?! :p

Imagine if they did a version of Ferris Bueller when he's an adult. .
he just had an extra copy and he was going to donate the paperback. He wasnt actually going to throw it in the trash. His wife is a librarian, so that would be blasphemy.
