The present volume features an array of essays on some of Lidia
Jorge's best-known fiction. Special attention is devoted here to A
Costa dos Murmurios, undoubtedly her most celebrated novel at home
and abroad. The importance of its central theme-a personal
recollection of colonial wartime in Mozambique that engages in
dialogue with the highly fictionalized account featured at the
outset of the book-would amply suffice to justify the interest it
has elicited. But the original treatment which Lidia Jorge affords
to her chosen theme enables her to problematize a wide range of
issues close to the heart of modern readers (be they Portuguese or
not), including personal and collective identity, memory, history,
language, and representation itself. Here in the present volume,
this novel is the focus of three pieces that develop incisive and
insightful parameters of analysis focusing on the role of memory
and the portrayal of women to cast a new light on this seminal
text.
