«Nocturno hindú» is the novel by Antonio Tabucchi, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (112 pages, in Spanish).
A narrator travels through Bombay, Madras and Goa in search of a missing friend. From hotel rooms, India reveals itself in strange encounters: a prophet on a train, a Portuguese Jesuit, a young photographer. Behind the disappearance looms the literary myth of renouncing writing and of the intellectual turned businessman.
Originally published as «Notturno indiano», it belongs to Anagrama's Compactos collection (no. 116). Translation by Carmen Artal Rodríguez.
For readers of Italian fiction and short literary fiction with a travel atmosphere.
Antonio Tabucchi was an Italian writer and academic who taught Portuguese language and literature at the University of Siena, Italy. Deeply in love with Portugal, he was an expert, critic and translator of the works of Fernando Pessoa from whom he drew the conceptions of saudade, of fiction and of the heteronyms. Tabucchi was first introduced to Pessoa's works in the 1960s when attending the Sorbonne. He was so charmed that when he returned to Italy, he took an introductory course in Portuguese for a better comprehension of the poet.
