Antonio Tabucchi wrote Italian fiction about memory, identity, political unease and encounters in which reality becomes slightly uncertain. Pereira Maintains follows an ageing journalist in 1930s Lisbon who gradually becomes unable to remain detached from authoritarian politics, while Indian Nocturne sends a narrator through India in search of a missing friend and perhaps a version of himself. Requiem returns to Lisbon in a dreamlike dialogue with the dead. Tabucchi's prose is elegant, compressed and often ambiguous. The clearest discovery routes are European literary fiction, Portuguese settings, political novels and dreamlike narratives. Read more Less
