'A funny sad novella about how we got here from there and how in our youth our eyes saw things differently' The Times A private meeting chance encounters and a mysterious tour of Lisbon haunt this moving homage to Tabucchi's adopted city In the city of Lisbon Requiem's narrator has an appointment to meet someone on a quay by the Tagus at twelve. Misunderstanding twelve to mean noon as opposed to midnight he is left to wait. As the day unfolds he has many unexpected encounters - with a young drug addict a disorientated taxi driver a cemetery keeper the mysterious Isabel and the ghost of the late great poet Fernando Pessoa - each meeting travelling between the real and illusionary. Part travelogue part autobiography part fiction Requiem becomes an homage to a country and its people and a farewell to the past as the narrator lays claim to a literary forebear who like himself is an evasive and many-sided personality. 'Tabucchi is a master of illusion and allusion and this is a literary puzzle that teases amuses and provokes' Sunday Telegraph
