On the passing of António Lobo Antunes

A great writer has neither end nor death. This will always be true of António Lobo Antunes, who will remain with us in every reading, in every provocation. Universidade Católica Portuguesa and the Lisbon Consortium (FCH) deeply regret the passing of this great writer in the Portuguese language. We remember him at a moment of blossoming and joy: at the first Lisbon Summer School for the Study of Culture of the Master’s and PhD programs in Culture Studies and the first year of the Lisbon Consortium (2011), organized in partnership with the Centro Nacional de Cultura’s program, Disquiet.

Fare thee well, for literature, like nature, is eternal.
