In 'The Death of Carlos Gardel,' António Lobo Antunes immerses us in a decadent Lisbon through the story of a young heroin addict in a coma and his peculiar family. The novel, imbued with irony and humor, explores the complexity of human relationships and the relentless logic of death. The characters' monologues reveal the existential void that surrounds them, creating a polyhedral and fascinating vision of their lives. This work, winner of the France Culture Prize 1996, is an example of Lobo Antunes' unique style and narrative mastery.

Lobo Antunes was repeatedly nominated as a contender for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
