Full Antonio Lobo Antunes Biography
| António Lobo Antunes was born in Lisbon. At the age of 7 he decided to be a writer but when he was 16, his father sent him to medical school. During this time he never stopped writing. By the end of his education he had to join the Army, to take part in the war in Angola. It was there, in a military hospital, that he gained interest for the subjects of death and the other. He came back from Africa in 1973. The Angolan war for independence later became subject to many of his novels. He worked many months in Germany and Belgium and, in 1979, after his divorce in 1976, he published his first novel - Memória de Elefante Elephant's Memory - where he told the story of his separation. Due to the success of his first novels António Lobo Antunes decided to partly give up medicine and to devote his evenings to writing. He has been practicing psychiatry all the time, though, mainly at the outpatient's unit at the Hospital Miguel Bombarda of Lisbon. He has told of his creative process in a lengthy interwiew with the Danish newspaper "Information" (2000). His style is considered to be very dense, heavily influenced by William Faulkner and Louis-Ferdinand Céline. |
