«Em nome do pai» is the novel by Nuno Lobo Antunes, published by Lua de Papel in paperback (238 pages, in Portuguese).
Saint Joseph, father of Jesus, appears as an old, furious man who, on the day of his death, reviews his life and confronts God: he does not accept that the Creator took for himself the woman promised to him, nor that his son died on the cross. The carpenter arms himself with reasons to judge the one everyone considers judge; the novel reconstructs his past.
The cover identifies it as the first novel by Nuno Lobo Antunes, author of «Sinto Muito»; published in 2013.
For readers of historical fiction and retellings of biblical characters, from a human and critical perspective on Saint Joseph and his context.
