Selected for Barnes & Noble's Discover Great New Writers Fall 2008 program "Splendidly demanding... The images Peixoto evokes in helping his characters communicate without words are singular and unforgettable.... Nature appears to prevail as the governing force, and Peixoto's brilliance and power as an artist are precisely in his desire to mimic nature's ability to create and destroy simultaneously." San Francisco Chronicle "José LuÃs Peixoto is one of the most surprising revelations in recent Portuguese literature." José Saramago "Brilliantly rendered episodic tales of rural loss...Peixoto's evocation of pathos is tempered by a keen sense of the absurd. His ironic sensibility shines through beautifully in this translation." Financial Times "Peixoto offers an appealing addition to the genre of rural magical realism…. [A] poignant debut." Kirkus Reviews "Peixoto's bold, incantatory prose is consistently beautiful… simple but also incredibly rich and resonant. ….The external narrator's own wise words are picked up and repeated by the characters, as though these portentous lines, these profound thoughts are out there… like great discovered truths. That even these weighty lines are moving and thought-provoking, rather than pretentious, is further testament to the author's considerable skills." - The Independent (UK) "[The Implacable Order of Things] poses difficult questions and challenges the reader… but the patient reader finds great rewards." The Australian "You read and breathe as if you were downing a bottle of life in one gulp." Le Figaro "'Peixoto comes from the world of poetry and of the theatre. And this can be sensed here. His pages, purified in the lyrical prose that makes them unique, introduce us to a rural space burned by the sun, inhabited by the singing of the cicadas and suspended in a mythical time where each action has a biblical inevitability."

Synopsis
Winner of the José Saramago Literary Award In an unnamed Portuguese village, against a backdrop of severe rural poverty, two generations of men and women struggle with love, violence, death, and--perhaps worst of all--the inescapability of fate. A pair of twins conjoined at the pinky, a 120-year-old wise man, a shepherd turned cuckold by a giant, and even the Devil himself make up the unforgettably oddball cast of The Implacable Order of Things . As these lost souls come together and drift apart, José Luís Peixoto masterfully reveals the absurd, heartbreaking, and ultimately bewitching aspects of human nature in a literary performance that heralds the arrival of an astoundingly gifted and poetic writer., Winner of the Jos Saramago Literary Award In an unnamed Portuguese village, against a backdrop of severe rural poverty, two generations of men and women struggle with love, violence, death, and--perhaps worst of all--the inescapability of fate.
