Review:
"Detailed and often lyrical, it is best at offering moments of nostalgic charm."
Floyd Skloot, New York Times Book Review, 03/01/2009
Review:"António Lobo Antunes, one of Portugal's most esteemed novelists...[has] collected here...a selection of autobiographical pieces that focus on his pampered childhood and fictions that focus on a variety of dismal or damaged lives."
Barbara Fisher, Boston Globe, 03/01/2009

The Fat Man and Infinity: and Other Writings (Hardback) (ISBN: 9780393061987) Antunes, Antonio Lobo Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: WW Norton Co, United States, 2009. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 212 x 150 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Antonio Lobo Antunes's sole ambition from the age of seven was to be a writer. Here, in The Fat Man and Infinity, "the heir to Conrad and Faulkner" (George Steiner) reflects on the fractured paradise of his childhood the world of prim, hypocritical, class-riven Lisbon in midcentury. His Proust-like memoirs, written over thirty years in chronicle form, pass through the filter of an adult who has known war and pain, and bear witness to the people whom he loved and who have gone into the dark. Stunningly translated by Margaret Jull Costa, in prose that glides like poetry, this is a modern-day chronicle of Portugal's imperfect past and arresting present, seen through the eyes of a master fiction writer, one on a short list to win a Nobel Prize. Readers particularly touched by Frank McCourt's Angela's Ashes will be drawn to this journey into the heart of one of our greatest living writers.
