It's interesting this character has a lot of similiarities with Pereira, the progatonist of his most famous novel Pereira Declares. I haven't read the novel you're reviewing, but the one I quoted before and a pair of short story books makes me think he is a perfect candidate for the Nobel Prize. His texts are so beatufully narrated ,even though I've read them in translation, and this means that his prose is so brilliant that can overtake translations. (The other options is that his translator is great, but I've read him with different ones so I'd be inclined for the first option).
Thumbs up for Tabucchi

In a sense Daniel I see some similarities in style and content between Tabucchi and the guy in your avatar--Bolano--at least in respect to Bolano's shorter fiction like--By night in Chile and Distant Star. Tabucchi doesn't seem to have anything like Bolano's more massive works though--at least not that I know of.
