In this new short story by the author of Indian Nocturne, we meet, among other characters, the Fonseca da Fonseca e Fonseca family, Father Piedoso del Montequoso Mantecoso, Professor Smith of Smith and Smith… whose portraits Jean Cortot paints with his brush. “I love stories,” says Antonio Tabucchi. “I’m actually an excellent listener to stories. I always know, even if it’s sometimes vague, when a soul or a character is traveling through the air and needs me to tell their story. Listening and telling are a bit like the same thing. You have to learn to be available, to always leave the door of your imagination open.” And the imagination is overflowing in this outstanding storyteller.
