English

By (author): Antonio Tabucchi

Translated by: Patrick Creagh

Dr. Pereira is an aging, lonely, overweight journalist who has failed to notice the menacing cloud of fascism over Salazarist Lisbon. One day he meets Montiero Rossi, an aspiring young writer whose anti-fascist fervor is as strong as Pereiras apolitical languor. Eventually, breaking out of the shell of his own inhibitions, Pereira reluctantly rises to heroismand this arc is one of the most intriguing and appealing character studies in recent European fiction (Kirkus).
