PRAISE FOR SUSANA MOREIRA MARQUES

'I was internally rearranged by “Now and at the Hour of Our Death,” a piece of lyric reportage by a Portuguese journalist, Susana Moreira Marques. It’s an account of hospice care in a rural region of Portugal, but it’s also a long poem built of morphine and gauze and ragged breathing and roadside crosses. Its glimpses splintered into me and have not left.’

Leslie Jamison, The New York Times 

‘For Moreira Marques, what divinity there is can be found only in the quiet beauty that would otherwise go unnoticed, in that artist’s refuge, the details.’

Alex Kalamaroff, Entropy Magazine

‘An extremely rare event: a book [Now and at the Hour of Our Death] capable of creating its own form, inventing on the way a new literary genre.’  

José Mário Silva, Expresso
