Neo-baroque perspectives in the fiction of António Lobo Antunes

The aim of this book is to bring together some of the linguistic resources and effects present in the narrative structure of Eu hei-de amar uma pedra with elements that make up neo-baroque discourse in order to reveal certain correspondences that configure a space for the representation of ideas that guide contemporary thought regardless of the historical marks related to the 17th century. Published in 2004 the seventeenth novel by Portuguese writer António Lobo Antunes (1942-) the basis of this work intertwines times and voices in a poetic universe that also seeks to link itself to the construction of Baroque music interconnecting structural devices that bear a certain similarity in the composition of both artistic expressions.
