A man and a woman meet in Lisbon and fall in love. City of Ulysses is their story, and the city’s love story besides. It is a story that leads readers down multiple paths, through myth and history, reality and fantasy, literature and the visual arts, the past and the present, male and female relations, the crisis of civilisation and the need to reimagine the world.
Teolinda Gersao is the author of sixteen books, including novels and short story collections, translated into twelve languages. Among other awards, she has received the PEN Club Prize for the Novel, the Grand Prix from the Portuguese Writers’ Association, and the ICLA Fiction Prize.
