Ricardo Araújo Pereira on Camões: "There are good reasons to claim that the prince of poets had a humorous bent"
Ricardo Araújo Pereira makes a serious accusation against Luís Vaz de Camões and tries to justify it by presenting what he claims are pieces of evidence. He cites sonnets, vilancetes (short lyrical forms), endechas (laments) and esparsas (occasional poems). At the end he speaks with Carlos Maria Bobone and shows that it is possible to introduce, in an erudite conversation about Camões, the word “rabo” (literally “tail”, colloquially “arse”). On the celebrations of the prince of poets' birthday, recall this episode of Ricardo Araújo Pereira's podcast, “Coisa Que Não Edifica Nem Destrói”.
