“Cassandra is a book featuring seven Portuguese authors writing monologues about Portugal where the common element is Cassandra, a beautiful, young prophetess in Greek mythology whose gift is turned into a curse. The damned prophetic sight written in a present future extends to a country going through a financial crisis that affects all other domains: the social, economic and political arenas. Each text is shaped by its peculiarities—the typography can reflect a radio voice or a chat in a dating chat room or a written letter. All of the text is more than just printed characters; it is sound made visible that takes us to the space of where the monologues were born and live.”
