A soaring, symphonic epic by the Portuguese master novelist, considered to be the heir to Conrad and Faulkner (George Steiner). The razor-thin line between reality and madness is transgressed in this Faulknerian masterpiece, Antonio Lobo Antunes's first novel to appear in English in five years. What Can I Do When Everything's On Fire?, set in the steamy world of Lisbon's demimonde--a nightclub milieu of scorching intensity and kaleidoscopic beauty, a baleful planet populated by drag queens, clowns, and drug addicts--is narrated by Paolo, the son of Lisbon's most legendary transvestite, who searches for his own identity as he recalls the harrowing death of his father, Carlos; the life of Carlos's lover, Rui, a heroin addict and suicide; as well as the other denizens of this hallucinatory world. Psychologically penetrating, pregnant with literary symbolism, and deeply sympathetic in its depiction of society's dregs, Lobo Antunes's novel ventriloquizes the voices of the damned in a poetic masterwork that recalls Joyce's Ulysses with a dizzying farrago of urban images few readers will forget.

Nice 4 piece suit!
Color: Light Blue, Size: 10
The suit fit nicely. The back of the pants were a little baggy, but I adjusted the waistline with the sewn in elastic. I just needed to hem them.

I purchased this for my son’s music band performance. I can say that this product is value for money. This vest offers stylish, well- tailored, slim fit look. The quality is fantastic and adjustable back strap helps to give perfect fit.

Great value
Size: 10-11, Color: Black
We bought 2 of these because our suit rentals for our wedding didn’t come with full vests for the children (Men’s Wearhouse gives you bibs for kids), and we live in Texas, so we didn’t want the boys to have to wear a full jacket during the reception in the heat. These fit really well and matched the suits that we rented.
