En 'Nocturno hindú', Antonio Tabucchi nos presenta a un narrador en la búsqueda de un amigo desaparecido, un fantasma de un pasado marcado por una ruptura. El viaje lo lleva por Bombay, Madrás y Goa, ciudades de una India vislumbrada desde habitaciones de hotel, donde se encuentra con personajes como un profeta en un tren, un jesuita portugués y una joven fotógrafa. Bajo la superficie de la desaparición, se vislumbra un mito literario: la renuncia a la escritura y la transformación del intelectual en hombre de negocios. Con ironía y distancia, Tabucchi nos ofrece una novela sobre el lado oculto de las cosas.
Antonio Tabucchi was an Italian writer and academic who taught Portuguese language and literature at the University of Siena, Italy. Deeply in love with Portugal, he was an expert, critic and translator of the works of Fernando Pessoa from whom he drew the conceptions of saudade, of fiction and of the heteronyms. Tabucchi was first introduced to Pessoa's works in the 1960s when attending the Sorbonne. He was so charmed that when he returned to Italy, he took an introductory course in Portuguese for a better comprehension of the poet.
