I like Tabucchi a lot. Like all writers some of his works are better than others--but that's all subjective to the individual reader. His best book IMO is Pereira declares which is set in Portugal during the Salazar dictatorship and around the time of the Spanish civil war if I'm not mistaken--it has been a while. Though Italian much of his work is set in Portugal--kind of an adoptive country for him. I see in him an anti-authoritarian/anarchistic streak--a very appealing Italian trait if you were to ask me. I did like Damasceno Monteiro.
