Reviews
The greatest gift of the young Portuguese novelist Goncalo M. Tavares is his ability, as a writer, to reduce the world to fragments and reconstruct it again as if it were his own creation. Each of his books (or set of books) is a kaleidoscope that rearranges reality for us better to observe it. Alberto Manguel. Goncalo M. Tavares is a writer who is unlike any you've read before. He has a gift--like Flann O'Brien or Kafka or Beckett--for revealing the ways in which logic can be as faithful a servant of madness as of reason. Mark O'Conell, The New Yorker. I've predicted that in thirty years' time, if not before, he will win the Nobel Prize and I'm sure my prediction will come true. Jose Saramago. Tavares's standing will soon be global. Times Literary Supplement.
