Um romance policial ou de personagem?

O escritor português João Tordo nasceu em Lisboa em 1975. Vencedor do Prémio José Saramago é um dos mais relevantes nomes da literatura portuguesa contemporânea. É um autor interessante e carismático, que, com o intuito de criar uma relação de intimidade entre o leitor e o narrador, “encarna” na personagem principal desta obra. Sendo um autor frustrado e hipocondríaco (pensamos que se baseia na série televisiva Dr. House, pois, à imagem desta personagem televisiva, fica coxo e tem de se auxiliar com uma bengala), manifesta dificuldades de viajar até qualquer parte. Mas, a necessidade económica leva-o a encarar uma viagem até Budapeste, para um Encontro Literário, mesmo estando longe de imaginar onde a literatura é capaz de o poder “levar”.
