out of stock"IT'S NO LONGER I THAT LIVETH is a book about being thirteen years old in 1986. It portrays the life of Francisco Ferreira. It is set between Lisbon and Évora. Francisco Ferreira is at the worst of ages. He is at an age when the God of childhood is already dead, and no new God has come to replace him. An age when you no longer play and you don't have true friends yet. A nihilistic age. An age without anything. Nevertheless, Ferreira uncovers something, attaches himself to something".
"Francisco Sousa Lobo is a contemporary Portuguese author that has been producing intellectually and emotionally demanding books at a frantic pace since 2013. After a few short pieces in the early 2000s, he published The Dying Draughtsman in 2013, quickly followed by I Like Your Art Much, The Francisco Problem and O Andar de Cima (The [Upper Room], both 2015), and The Care of Birds (2016). It’s no longer I that liveth, co-published earlier this year by Chili Com Carne and Mundo Fantasma, is but the latest title that adds to Lobo’s overall project (two more books, one short, the other longer, are being completed, both to be published probably this year [2017] as well)". – Pedro Moura, Comics Alternative
