Author of “Deus, Pátria e Família” and “Revolução”, two novels in which he delves into the reality of the Portuguese dictatorship, Hugo Gonçalves highlights that it is difficult to produce crime fiction in authoritarian regimes. “There is something subversive about the crime genre; it is someone looking for the truth. If you place a detective looking for the truth, when what matters most to propaganda is the lie, and the control of the population is almost total, there is something subversive,” he says in another episode of the podcast “Aqui Há Crime”, with Júlia Pinheiro and Expresso journalist Marta Gonçalves.
