The author of South of Nowhere, the internationally acclaimed fictionalized memoir of the Angolan war, has now raised a fabulous Lisbon from the ashes of his four failed but unforgettable protagonists, and firmly established his reputation as the century's foremost novelist in the Portuguese language.
On the tenth anniversary of the return of their battalion from Mozambique, five men attempt to rekindle the fraternal bond that helped them survive the colonial war that was Portugal's Vietnam. In turn, they tell the stories of their lives before, during, and after the revolution that overthrew the long-lived Salazar dictatorship.
Fado Alexandrino is one of the richest novels to come out of Europe in recent years. Moreover, it reveals a society and culture still too little known to the English-speaking world.
