Having published widely on Portuguese literature, culture and identity, he also has numerous volumes of creative writing to his name, the most recent of which is Aventurasde um Nabogador e Outras Estórias-em-sanduíche (Lisbon: Bertrand, 2007), as well as a long-standing presence in the Portuguese media.
