«O Senhor Henri» is a collection of short stories by Gonçalo M. Tavares, published by Livraria Caminho in hardcover (95 pages, in Portuguese).
The thirty-six brief stories in the book follow Mr. Henri, a cultured and solitary character, a great fan of encyclopedias and word games, who recites dates of events from memory. He has barely any company: his glass of absinthe, with its greenish tone.
The work, published in 2003, is part of the series «O Bairro» as its second installment and of the sixth volume of the «Cadernos de Gonçalo M. Tavares». The drawings are by Rachel Caiano.
For readers of contemporary Portuguese literature and for those who appreciate brief stories with a singular protagonist.
