Thanks to Safaa Dib of Saída de Emergência for sending this new anthology of theirs, Lisboa no Ano 2000, to me. It is an anthology of stories set in a Lisbon of 2000 that never existed. Based on 19th century writings by novelists such as Jules Vernes that tried to project future Parises (or Londons, Berlins, etc.) at the dawn of the 21st century (yes, I know 2000 was the last year of the 20th century, but bear with me), this anthology imagines a Lisbon that could have existed if the entirety of 20th century developments had not occurred. The anthology, which I received today, contains stories from the following writers:
- João Barreiros
- Ricardo Correia
- Jorge Palinhos
- AMP Rodriguez
- Carlos Eduardo Silva
- Ana C. Nunes
- Ricardo Cruz Ortigão
- João Ventura
- Joel Puga
- Telmo Marçal
- Michael Silva
- Pedro Vicente Pedroso
- Guilherme Trindade
- Pedro G.P. Martins
- Pedro Afonso

any chance this would be translated to english? always open to reading non-anglophone stuff. :)
No idea. If I were more confident in my ability to translate Portuguese, I could attempt an amateur translation over a period of months/years, but since there'd be no money in it without an Anglophone publisher, it'd be difficult to muster up the enthusiasm to tackle over 400 pages of text :P
