Reviews
"What a strange and wonderful book this is! If, like me, you are interested in shipwrecks, whales, the Azores and the unique way in which only literature can bring a location to life, and if you like the unclassifiable, small works by authors such as Michael Ondaatje and Italo Calvino -- then have I got the book for you ... Wildly inventive." -- Ethan Rutherford, Minneapolis Star-Tribune Tabucchi's prose creates a deep, near-profound and sometimes heart-wrenching nostalgia and constantly evokes the pain of recognizing the speed of life's passing which everyone knows but few have the strength to accept ... Wonderfully thought-provoking and beautiful. --Alan Cheuse, All Things Considered Ruminative, elegiac and mordantly funny, Mr. Tabucchi¢s prose conjures a state between waking and dreaming. --The New York Times There is in Tabucchi's stories the touch of the true magician, who astonishes us by never trying too hard for his subtle, elusive, and remarkable effects. --The San Francisco Examiner A witty and subtle meditation on the limits of memory and imagination. -- Nick Hornby, Times Literary Supplement Elegant, cosmopolitan, inventive, ambitious, and disquieting; his writing is, paradoxically, sensual and economical. --Boston Review Meticulously crafted . . . marked by wit, emotion, memory, and lost grandeur. --Publishers Weekly "On a final note, I must add that this reviewer had the pleasure of reading The Woman of Porto Pim at the seaside. If at all possible, I recommend all others do the same. I imagine, however, that Tabucchi's prose, and Parks's translation, would allow the sea to come to you, wherever you may find yourself reading." -- Monika Seger, World Literature Today Like good short fiction, the stories in this volume act in ways that suggest a wider world outside the frame of the story. --Sycamore Review, "What a strange and wonderful book this is!
