The Land at the End of the World A Novel [Paperback]

[Antunes] has created a memorably unhinged narrator, and [Costa] manages to capture, perfectly and faithfully, the bitter, hallucinatory and increasingly desperate tone of his monologue.Lobo Antunes crafts macabre fever dreams as if possessed by an abler Poe, and few other novelists have his Bellovian ability to see both deeply and minutely, to render the world, the fallen world, as if never rendered before.Read Ant?nio Lobo Antunes'?Magnificent prose, dense with striking and unexpected imagery&I was so seized by the novel's spirit that I was motivated to turn to my own. I wanted to imitate Lobo Antunes, and I failed. Brilliant&harrowing&Packs the impact of an exploding mortar shell. Kai Maristed,
