Por só precisar de uma caneta ou lápis, começou a escrever muito cedo. A sua primeira história era policial e passava-se em Londres. A segunda era interminável e passava-se em Lisboa e outros lugares imaginados. Em 2003 editou o primeiro de quatro romances pela Oficina do Livro, "Aquariofilia".

Jane Hirshfield - It Was Like This: You Were Happy

It was like this:

Luis’s Quotes

“He knew nothing about policy and taxes or what makes a people, and now, God help him, he was like those kids who think their country is Google. ‘You’re just not going deep enough,’ Luke said. ‘Money has imploded. Religion has gone mad. Privacy is disappearing. The ice-cap is melting and children are starving to death. And you want to sing an old song about national togetherness.”
― Andrew O'Hagan, The Illuminations
