«Novas estórias açorianas» is a collection of short prose by Carlos Alberto Machado (Companhia das Ilhas, paperback, 152 pages, in Portuguese).
A collection of short prose between everyday chronicle and caustic fiction. With irony and mordancy, the work portrays human types and episodes from the history and culture of the Azores: neighbors, bigots, old whalers, shopkeepers and decadent scholars. The stories alternate between a child's and an adult's gaze, in an exercise of literary ethnology.
Continues the series begun with «Estórias açorianas» (2012). 2016 edition; the volume also includes «Um par de crónicas».
For readers of Portuguese literature interested in the Azores, island life and short ironic tales.
