Macounaïma, Le héros sans aucun caractère

The book feels like a playful yet sharp critique of cultural identity. I'm curious whether the author aimed to challenge or celebrate Brazilian myths through this unique style.

Macunaima's changing nature made me wonder if the story is commenting on the fluidity of identity or the absurdity of fixed labels. What were others' interpretations?

The humor and absurdity seem to make profound ideas more accessible, but I wonder if that also risks overshadowing the critique. Did you feel the tone enhanced or diluted the themes?
