Gonçalo M. Tavaris: The neighborhood where writers live O Bairro 2

*The Village of Writers* by Portuguese author Gonçalo Tavares. This book is a two-volume collection of ten interconnected stories completed by Tavares between 2002 and 2010. It is the culmination of a new project that fully captures the styles and literary worlds of ten authors who have brilliantly adorned the history of literature—including Paul Valéry, Italo Calvino, Bertolt Brecht, and T. S. Eliot—while featuring each author as the protagonist of their respective work. With a unique premise in which witty yet philosophical stories about real-life authors are completed separately and then come together to form a single community, this series has already been translated and published in over 20 countries. Among them, the volume "Mr. Kraus and Politics" won the 2011 European Literature Prize in France on its own. The book features a total of ten writers: Paul Valéry, Italo Calvino, Robert Walser, Carl Krauss, André Breton, Bertolt Brecht, Roberto Juaroz, Henri Michaux, Emmanuel Swedenborg, and T. S. Eliot. What kind of stories could unfold if these masters lived together in the same neighborhood? Readers can accompany Mr. Calvino on his contemplative walks and freely visit Mr. Brecht's stage or Mr. Eliot's lectures. Furthermore, meeting artists such as Marcel Duchamp and Andy Warhol, who unexpectedly encounter the protagonist writers throughout the neighborhood like scene-stealing supporting characters, is an unmissable pleasure for readers visiting the writers' neighborhood.
