Who is Uncle from The Book of Disquiet and what is their importance? The_Book_of_Disquiet English & Literature Uncle | The Book of Disquiet

Soares' uncle is the sole living relative that Soares records in his book. Soares never records his uncle's name and only refers to him as his uncle. This lack of a name indicates an emotional distance between Soares and the uncle. It is his uncle however, who takes Soares to Lisbon and gets him a job in an office. Although Soares admits in his writing that he knows that his uncle loves him, Soares feels an emotion close to relief when his uncle passes away.
