	Antonio Tabucchi
		Antonio Tabucchi was born in Vecchiano, northern Italy, in 1943.
		Tabucchi maintains that his discovery of this Portuguese writer at the age of 19 inspired him to start writing himself.
		This is the case in 'Requiem' (1991), an act of homage to Lisbon and a profession of love for the Portuguese language, which the author employs to describe his "hallucination", a fictional encounter with his role model Pessoa and his idol’s characters.

	The Reality of Dreams: Antonio Tabucchi and Fernando Pessoa - by Robert Gray - Eclectica Magazine v9n4
		Tabucchi is deeply enmeshed in the netherworlds of shadow and dream as well as accepted reality, exploring boundaries not merely between Portugal and Italy or Pessoa and Tabucchi, but between political engagement and creative solitude, life and death, dreaming and waking, observation and imagination.
		For Tabucchi this "confederation of souls" is ruled by an ego that is actively engaged in the world, even as he acknowledges, by his fascination with Pessoa, the possibility of other egos in potential ascendance.
		Tabucchi is also aware of the dangers lurking in excessive influence on the part of a master over his disciple, and seems to have been putting those fears to rest in "The Last Three Days of Fernando Pessoa" and Requiem, both of which deal with Pessoa's death.

	Little Misunderstandings of No Importance (Antonio Tabucchi , Frances Frenaye)
		Tabucchi is interested in the interior lives of his characters but everything that happens there remains unclear, not really describable except in the most cursory way.
		Tabucchi's point in these stories is that the only way to make sense of ambiguous reality is to simplify it for ourselves.
		Tabucchi fits in with Kafka and Nabokov and Borges and Cortazar & Calvino, like them he could be called a "fabulist", and fables are powerful because they remain ambiguous like parables or myths.

		Antonio Tabucchi walked into the large amphitheatre of the huge complex, aptly called the Cit du Livre (City of Books) to thunderous applause.
		Tabucchi never visited India again and did not write about it either, except for a beautiful short story written at about the same time as the book.
		In fact, Tabucchi has often taken strong political positions, even rubbing the Portuguese Government the wrong way and espoused a number of causes involving the minorities, such as the deplorable living conditions of the gypsies in a city as opulent as Florence.

	The Missing Head of Damasceno Monteiro (Antonio Tabucchi , J. C. Patrick)
		Tabucchi does not provide us with an altogether satisfactory ending, but he does hold open the small possibility that justice will be done.
		Like Tabucchi's previously published Fernando Pessoa, the main character is a journalist; the story moves in a direction different than that implied by the opening scene.
		While I prefer Tabucchi's work outside of the "thriller" genre of the last two novels, his writing (and its translation) are so well done that the genre is unimportant - in any genre, he writes stories that make you think as well as making you loath to set the book down.

		Antonio Tabucchi has accomplished a rare feat: a socio-political novel with a decided left-wing slant that succeeds as a thriller.
		Antonio Tabucch's short (136 pgs.) and magnificant 1994 novel Declares Pereira is a devistating study of the coming of totalitarianism.
		Set in Portugal in 1938, Tabucchi's tale, originally written in Italian, is the story of an overweight, fading, and ill newspaper reporter now editing the culture page of a mediocre Lisbon newspaper who befriends, and then helps, a young writer with unacceptable political views.

		While Tabucchi shows the same skill and control that he shows in his novellas, I'll admit to a preference for the latter.
		However, the title story of this collection is not to be missed - it purports to be a letter written to a sister whom the letter's author has not contacted for 18 years.
		If you enjoy short stories or have read Tabucchi's novellas, you should read this collection - and everyone should read the title story, "Saturday Afternoon" is a family tale, again of loss and separation, of "hiding your head under the sand".

		Elaborately imagined, though often straining for effect, popular Italian novelist Tabucchi's (Pereira Declares) new offering is both a mini-catalogue of great artists' dreams and the author's interpretation of the last three days in the life of Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa.
		Although some episodes are weaker than others, Tabucchi's rich language and his magical-realist charm tinge the volume with a visionary glow.
		Tabucchi writes in his normal taut prose - with wonderful lines to mull over: "Life is indecipherable, answered Pessoa.

		The nameless narrator of this surreal dreamscape, who anxiously anticipates the appearance of his deceased friend and literary forebear, is Tabucchi himself, and the poet, though never named, is probably Portuguese modernist Fernando Pessoa, whose works Tabucchi, a champion of Portuguese literature, has translated.
		Chance encounters, ambivalent symbols, fl humor and nonrational events pervade the narrative as Tabucchi's alter-ego meets his father as a young sailor; the ghost of Isabel, a former lover who committed suicide; Tadeus, who may have been the father of the child Isabel was carrying; and other colorful figures, alive and dead.
		It is clear the events are all dreamed and so Tabucchi is free to talk to both friends and relations living and dead.

	Salon Reviews \| "The Missing Head of Damasceno Monteiro" by Antonio Tabucchi
		But Antonio Tabucchi's "The Missing Head of Damasceno Monteiro" is not your typical murder mystery.
		If the background has changed -- the seaport city of Oporto instead of Lisbon, neo-liberal democracy instead of the Salazar regime -- the underlying moral rot remains the same, and the people on the margins, like victims of some Kafkaesque machine, bear the consequences of official abuse and neglect in their flesh.
		Fortunately, Tabucchi's lush and evocative prose also conjures up a vivid sense of old town Oporto's sweltering, labyrinthine streets and paints mouthwatering pictures of the local cuisine, such as tripe à la mode d'Oporto and rice with red beans and fried bass, described in loving, lingering detail.

		Antonio Tabucchi is often dubbed as Italy's most celebrated novelist since the 1970s.
		Tabucchi is classified as a postmodern writer since his writings reflect his doubt of the continuing dynamism of the literary forms that prevailed during the time of his predecessors even as he himself still engages in these types of writing.
		On the other hand, the very ethical nature of his fiction also shows Tabucchi to be a contemporary Catholic writer.
