«Monsieur Calvino et la promenade» is the fiction book by Gonçalo M. Tavares, published by Editions Viviane Hamy in paperback (85 pages, in French).
In the Bairro, Monsieur Calvino prefers walking to reasoning: he observes the world with a mix of dreaminess and rigour, gets angry with modern society and exercises his intelligence through physical challenges of absurd appearance, such as crossing the neighbourhood with a bar parallel to the ground or moving earth with a small spoon.
It belongs to the O Bairro series, as the sixth instalment. The original title is O Senhor Calvino. The edition includes a text by Jacques Roubaud.
For readers of short fiction and for those who follow the O Bairro series by Gonçalo M. Tavares.
