Summary

Goncalo M. Tavares: Journey to India

In Journey to India, our hero Bloom sets out from Lisbon for India, in a time extremely unfavorable to the heroes. Gone are the galleys, gone is God, gone are the heroic swords, as well as the religious sanctuary. Where to find wisdom in these circumstances? Bloom, thinking thoroughly and narrating unstoppably, slowly advances towards India. The first stop is London, the second is Paris, and the rest are all over Europe. On that journey, he makes friends, finds enemies, recounts his life story, discovers the reasons for his escape from Lisbon, as well as his vague hopes and painful fears about what he might find in India. Or within himself. His melancholic itinerary is an attempt to learn and forget. As our narrator coolly observes: Life goes on and is monstrous. A parody of Lusitanes by Luis de Camoes, a sixteenth-century heroic Portuguese song about naval expeditions and the courage of sailors, Tavares's poem is a kind of solemn requiem, an exploration of the human psyche in a world where the advancement of technology has outstripped our ability (or desire) to theorize it. The search for wisdom was abandoned, and the old imperialist dreams revealed their true face of the post-colonial nightmare.
