Description
Haunted by the aftershocks of Portugal’s colonial war, a medic returns to Lisbon carrying memories that refuse to stay buried. In a fractured, ghost-haunted “memoir,” he recounts what he witnessed and did—turning violence into an archive that keeps replaying itself through voices, images, and uneasy recollection. As camaraderie dissolves and the city swallows him, the narrator’s search for meaning becomes inseparable from the trauma that has hollowed him out. With António Lobo Antunes’s signature lyrical intensity and psychologically charged style, this novel explores memory, guilt, and the long, corrosive reach of war on the self and on a nation’s conscience.
