The Fat Man and Infinity: And Other Writings
“The personal essays and reminiscences of                             António Lobo Antunes, happily                       gathered here,               provide not                    only glimpses into Portuguese life              but also passages that lead to the  heart of  experience itself.  His  descriptive quickness                    and his                genius for metaphor cause the line                                      between  prose and poetry to vanish before   our                    astonished eyes.” (Billy Collins)“Lobo Antunes’ sketches are alive with the            poetry of the everyday, and tinged  with the                      gentlest of  self-mockery.” (J M Coetzee)
