Book
By the rivers of Babylon / António Lobo Antunes ; translated from the Portuguese by Margaret Jull Costa.
"Incapacitated after the removal of a malignant tumor, the narrator, Antaonio, spends his days in a Lisbon hospital enduring the humiliations of severe illness. As he drifts in and out of consciousness, he revisits fragments of his life and the people whopassed through it. He recalls the village where he lived as a child near the Mondego River amid the eucalyptus and pines, his parents and grandparents and their tight-knit community of potato farmers and tungsten miners, and the woman he loved--an unexpected polyphony of voices and places sounding in sharp counterpoint to debilitating pain"--.
