In 'The Natural Order of Things,' António Lobo Antunes presents us with a mosaic of ten voices that monologue from solitude, pain, and despair. These characters, confronted with death, immerse us in a whirlwind of memories and fantasies, intertwining the history of Portugal with their own experiences. The author's prose, both beautiful and raw, becomes a scalpel that explores the limits of the human soul, offering a profound reflection on the human condition and the fragility of existence.
António Lobo Antunes was a Portuguese novelist and medical doctor. He was awarded the 2000 Austrian State Prize, the 2003 Ovid Prize, the 2005 Jerusalem Prize, the 2007 Camões Prize, and the 2008 Juan Rulfo Prize. Lobo Antunes was repeatedly nominated as a contender for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
