«O senhor Valéry» is the short story book by writer Gonçalo M. Tavares, published by Caminho in 2002 in hardback (80 pages, in Portuguese).
It brings together twenty-five micro-stories featuring Mr. Valéry, a small, solitary man who will not tolerate anyone questioning his way of reasoning. Through his routines and quirks, the book plays with everyday logic and leaves a constant sense of interpellation of the reader.
It is the first volume of the «O Bairro» series and includes drawings by Rachel Caiano, credited on the cover.
For readers of short Portuguese fiction and philosophical tales, especially those who follow the work of Gonçalo M. Tavares.
