jos cardoso pires

Jos Cardoso Pires (1925-1998) was a Portuguese author of short stories, novels, plays, and political satire. Born in the Castelo Branco district, he studied mathematics at the University of Lisbon, but left school to join the merchant marine, from which he was discharged for disciplinary problems. Devoting himself to writing, he taught Portuguese and Brazilian literature at King's College, London. In 1995, he suffered a stroke, which formed the background for his final novel De Profundis, valsa lenta. He died of another stroke in 1998. His works include:

O delfim (The Dauphin; 1968)
A Balada de Praia do Ces (1982; tr. Ballad of the Dogs' Beach, 1986)
A Repblica dos Corvos (Republic of Ravens; 1988)
De Profundis, valsa lenta (From the Depths: A Slow Waltz)
