"Antunes...deserves to be embraced by all serious readers of literary fiction. A brilliant performance." The Washington Post Mr. Antunes' 1996 novel, The Inquisitors' Manual explored the testimony of a brutal official of Portugal's Salazar dictatorship.
Mr. Antunes in 2018. His novels, especially the early ones, were a no-holds-barred exposure of suppressed truths about the hypocrisies of Portuguese society. Photo credit: Leonardo Cendamo/Getty Images.
Mr. Antunes's 2001 novel, What Can I Do When Everything's on Fire?, translated by Gregory Rabassa, depicted the uneasy mental excursions of the son of a Lisbon transvestite.

A great question. I'm sure there'll be books forthcoming, even if they're only collected stories, or new editions with new intros. Do hope you manage to read the fourth Hyperion. Am always in awe of how remarkably he succeeds in different genres (I'm reading Drood at the moment, and enjoying it).

Brawler: Stories by Lauren Groff. Read alone, each story in Lauren Groff’s electric collection is an individual triumph, bold, agile, and packed with power. Read together, they hum in exhilarating resonance. Ranging from the 1950s to the present day and moving across age, class, and region -- from New England to Florida to California -- these nine stories reflect and expand upon a shared theme: the ceaseless battle between humans’ dark and light angels. “In every human there is both an animal and a god wrestling unto death,“ one character tells us. Among those we see caught in this match are a young woman suddenly responsible for her disabled sibling, a hot-tempered high school swimmer in need of an adult, a mother blinded by the loss of her family, and a banking scion endowed with a different kind of inheritance. Motivated by love, impeded by the double edges of other peoples’ good intentions, they try to do the right thing for as long as they can. Precise, surprising, and provocative, anchored by profound insight into human nature, Brawler reveals the repeated, sometimes heartbreaking turning points between love and fear, compassion and violence, reason and instinct, altruism and what it takes to survive.
