“In ‘Não Conto’, Sérgio Almeida’s agile writing challenges the reader to an incursion into a grotesque and demented world, whose pillars are dark humor, and above all the taste for deformation, caricature and excess. With these weapons, the satire, in its demolishing zeal, leaves little standing, starting with customs, family life and the literary universe, and ending with philosophical and political discourses”. – José António Gomes
From the drama of a train conductor who, by virtue of observing thousands of daily passengers, forgets the contours of his own face, to the memories of the famous dictator A. H. narrated by his pet mustache, “I Don’t Tell” is a journey with no return guaranteed by the unpredictable but always fascinating intricacies of the human psyche.
Idle, unstable or megalomaniacal, the characters gathered here do not lack any of the capital sins, with the exception of the biggest of all: normality.
