The Moravian Night is set to be published in Portugal around December. In case anyone might be interested!

I found it straight boring. But I must admit that I probably didn't try to appreciate the movie for what it was! So I've decided to watch it again. Maybe now my biased nobel lenses will find it enjoyable. ? That 3D experience was probably interesting. From what I remember, which is basically...

I get way to anxious over this! My favorite time of the year. I fell like I'm waiting for an extremely important exam... ?? Thank You all for your insights! Yesterday I only slept after reading the entire topic. I'm not nearly as smart or well read as you, but it's always I joy to read your...

That's a shame! I have to say, all the discussion regarding Handke's Nobel got me curious. I have two of his books that I bought a few years ago, but this was an excellent excuse to get The Fruit Thief like the hoarder I am ? Just came back from the library, sat and read a few pages and I quite...

Hey Bartleby! Don't know if you already got it or if you're still interested in the book! https://relogiodagua.pt/ Check out their website! They have a notice about international shipping being cheaper than before. Maybe it's still very expensive but I thought maybe you would be interested!

It's so much fun to nitpick someone's library! I'll probably post mine, and then proceed to the questions! Perhaps I exaggerated in the pictures, so i'll just post a link ? Library Now I'm off to read and see all the other posts!

60€?? That's awesome! I wish I could get books so cheap in Portugal! Looking forward to hear your opinion on Blank Gaze by Peixoto! I've read it a few years ago. That book won him the Saramago Prize in 2001.

I'll leave this here in case anyone's interested. Colóquio: António Lobo Antunes. 40 anos de vida literária:

Juan Gabriel Vásquez - Las Reputaciones ⭐⭐ + It fell a bit short to what I hoped for. The last third of the booked seemed a bit rushed for me.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'll try to answer to all of you in order! Yesterday I meant do write a bigger post and add some more names, but I was very sleep deprived and had only a couple of hours to rest before I went to work! I could't resist to share a bit, Daniel's post made me so...

- Afonso Cruz (one of the trending writers in the last years in Portugal, along with Peixoto, Mãe, Ondjaki, Tordo and M. Tavares, with Tavares being probably the best of them all.) Albeith not being proof of quality, everyone loves Cruz, mostly great critics, and he won a few prizes...

I'm a Portuguese reader and I share your thoughts exactly. I tried reading A Desumanização and I hated it. It seemed so empty and boring, always trying to sound very deep and philosophical, and like you said, trying to be beautiful and poetic with all of those short sentences. I even found that...

Great words my friend, may he rest in peace. Found the news while choosing a book of his to read. Morbid timing though. Ended up choosing Los disparos del cazador because the local library doesn't own any of his other works.
