The Woman Of Porto Pim

Antonio Tabucchi

By Antonio Tabucchi, one of the most renowned voices in European literature and the foremost Italian writer of his generation,The Woman of Porto Pim is made up ofenchanting, hallucinatory fragments that take place on the Azores Islands off the coast of Portugal. Told by a visiting Italian writer unearthing legends, relics and histories of the inhabitants, the tales shed light on a local restaurant proprietress’s impossible love with an Azorean fisherman during WWII, a dazzling whaling expedition of eras past, shipwrecks both metaphorical and real, and a playful look at humankind from the perspective of a whale.
