The Implacable Order of Things

Winner of the Jose Saramago Literary Award A mesmerizing tale from Portugal's most acclaimed young novelist.

With subtle prose and powerful imagery, Jose Luis Peixoto delicately weaves together the stories of his oddball cast-including a pair of twins conjoined at the pinky, a supercentenarian, a shepherd turned cuckold by a giant, and even the Devil himself.
