António Lobo Antunes, a renowned Portuguese novelist who created more than 30 works exploring trauma, dictatorship, and war, died at age 83; he was widely regarded as one of the most important Portuguese writers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries and won the prestigious Camões Prize. Born in Lisbon in 1942, Lobo Antunes trained as a psychiatrist and served as an army doctor in Angola's colonial war, experiences that profoundly shaped his psychologically complex, fragmented fiction style.
