António Lobo Antunes: Un fado polyphonique en prose
António Lobo Antunes: A Polyphonic Fado in Prose

Summary/Abstract: The present study is a synthesis of the historical saga featured in the novels of António Lobo Antunes. This saga revolves around the search for and the discovery of the identity of modern Portugal, or indeed around a reconfiguration of the past (including the colonial episodes of Angola and Mozambique). While José Saramago draws massively on fantasies and fictions, Lobo Antunes is a stubborn realist, an anatomist of the human psyche and an analyst of the history of Portugal (operating a post-mortem of both colonialism and post-colonialism).
