1732-8705 Faulknerian shadows: António Lobo Antunes under the influence of William Faulkner Rodrigues Ricardo Rato author Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Lublin Correspondence to: Ricardo Rato Rodrigues ricardo.ratorodrigues@mail.umcs.pl 19 11 2021 Tom 21, Numer 3 Tom 21 (2021) 217 227 Copyright © 2021 2021 <p>This article seeks to investigate the degree of influence that the works of William Faulkner have exerted over the output of novelist António Lobo Antunes, thus filling a critical gap and at the same time opening up new avenues for literary research in order to better assess the impact and importance of Lobo Antunes for Portuguese (in particular) and world literature (in general). The comparative approach takes into consideration the style and content of both writers and their approximations across some of their works.</p> 1 Antunes António Lobo, 2005, O Manual dos Inquisidores, Lisboa: Dom Quixote. 2 Antunes António Lobo, 2007, Segundo Livro de Crónicas, Lisboa: Dom Quixote. 3 Antunes António Lobo, 2008, O Arquipélago da Insónia, Lisboa: Dom Quixote. 4 Arnaut Ana Paula, 2002, Post-Modernismo no Romance Português Contemporâneo, Fios de Ariadne, Máscaras de Proteu, Coimbra: Almedina. 5 Arnaut Ana Paula, 2010, Post-Modernismo: O futuro do passado no romance português contemporâneo, Via Atlântica 17, Junho: 129–140. 6 Barrento João, 1990, A razão transversal – requiem pelo pós-moderno, Vértice (25): 31–36. 7 Bucaioni Marco, 2019, A huge debt to 20th century Modernism?
