Synopsis:
Salazar's Portugal in 1938 is part of the menacing cloud that hangs over Europe and Dr. Pereira is an aging, overweight, lonely, mostly-retired journalist who doesn't want to think about it. He escapes facing the ominous times by translating 19th-century French stories for the weekly Culture Page he edits for a Lisbon newspaper. Then Pereira meets an appealing young man, Monteiro Rossi, and in a city where the very walls have ears and where those who know what's good for them turn a blind eye to what goes on around them, he is forced to break out of the shell of his own inhibitions. In the process of facing reality and encountering the brutality of an authoritarian state, Pereira becomes a gentle hero the reader will long remember.
Review:
"Just when we might have started to think of him as an elegant dreamer-errant, the Valery Larbaud of Italian letters, Antonio Tabucchi has mercilessly opened a window on the imminent implosion of modern democracy and caught us napping."
Jonathan Keates, Times Literary Supplement
Review:"One of the most intriguing and appealing character studies in recent European fiction, and easily the best work of Tabucchi's to have appeared in English translation."
Kirkus, 04/01/1996
