«Pequeños equívocos sin importancia» is the short story collection by Antonio Tabucchi, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (168 pages, in Spanish).
The stories are set in Tuscany, the Riviera, Lisbon, a vintage car rally or a train between Bombay and Madras. Their characters, often ironic or desperate travellers, become caught up in misunderstandings that shatter normality and open a reflection on chance and decisions.
Number 174 in Anagrama's Compactos collection, translated by Joaquín Jordá. The original Italian title is Piccoli equivoci senza importanza.
For readers of contemporary Italian short fiction who appreciate stories with a literary and reflective 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.
