The idea of bringing two friends together to remember 60 years of friendship was not “very strange.” It was a way of talking about a distant time, about the magazines that were made in cafes, about the life that burns them, about being foolishly well. It was José-Augusto França who used the expression “very strange”. He had recently seen Eduardo Lourenço and his friend seemed “really tired.” But there was no sign of him that Sunday afternoon. A conversation with Anabela Mota Ribeiro that brought Francia and Lourenço together, published on May 11, 2014. See more here.
