About the author
Born in 1909 in Saligão, Goa, Eduardo de Sousa came from a bhatkar family and studied at the Liceu Afonso de Albuquerque before training in pharmacy at the Escola Médico-Cirúrgica de Goa. Even so, he built his career in education, working as a primary-school teacher.
He is remembered as an Indo-Portuguese writer and educator whose fiction reflected colonial and post-1961 Goan society. His work is especially associated with Contos que o Vento Levou, a collection discussed by later scholars as one of the last Portuguese-language Goan short-story books and as a portrait of a declining Luso-Goan elite.
