Finished this monster. What can I say? A modernist masterpiece that belongs to the same shelf as The Magic Mountain, The Death of Virgil, and Berlin Alexanderplatz. A decadent baroque symphony of a novel. Unjustly neglected. Its reputation will continue to grow.

Very sad news. RIP Antonio Lobo Antunes. A true magician of the word. One of the greats.

A long in-depth review of Antonio Moresco's The Beginnings by Zane Perdue.
“The nameless world of Moresco’s The Beginnings is like a mounting Schoenberg string sextet for eyes-wide-open, a speeding camouflage pattern of the obliterative variety.”

'It is colossal, stunning in its linguistic power"
"Until Schattenfroh is hopefully translated into Swedish, I will probably have to wait a long time to read a contemporary novel of similar brilliance."

“towering absurdist work that is perhaps easier to admire than enjoy”
“It’s a bit exhausting, but there are plenty of marvels to be found.”
