The Land at the End of the World

Reviews

"[Antunes] has created a memorably unhinged narrator, and [Costa] manages to capture, perfectly and faithfully, the bitter, hallucinatory and increasingly desperate tone of his monologue." — Larry Rohter, New York Times

"Lobo Antunes crafts macabre fever dreams as if possessed by an abler Poe, and few other novelists have his Bellovian ability to see both deeply and minutely, to render the world, the fallen world, as if never rendered before." — William Giraldi, Daily Beast

"Read António Lobo Antunes' The Land at the End of the World, and you, like the protagonist, may never forget the hallucinatory depravity, degradation and corruption of an unjust war." — Kai Maristed, Los Angeles Times

"Magnificent prose, dense with striking and unexpected imagery…I was so seized by the novel's spirit that I was motivated to turn to my own. I wanted to imitate Lobo Antunes, and I failed." — Viet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sympathizer
