ReviewsA tantalizing novel-shifting and teasing, full of metaphorical labyrinths and false trails.-The Herald (London) Offers an unearthly, muted beauty; a freedom from the obvious, the ideological and trivial; an atmosphere of profound serenity, and a benevolent humor.-Literary Review It is the marriage of the living and the dying...that so strongly characterizes the writing of José Saramago.-The New Statesman The Swedish Academy's citation called his novels 'parables sustained by imagination, compassion and irony.' It is a description which perfectly captures his latest novel.-The Times (London) --, "From the beginning, Saramago is in perfect control of the narrative, and the result is a tour de force."-Denver Post, "A psychological, even metaphysical thriller that will keep you turning the pages in spite of yourself, and with growing alarm and alacrity."-The Seattle Times "A novel that reminds readers how much loneliness can be like death. . . . Saramago is one of the best." -Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times "Within the first few pages, Saramago establishes a tension that sings on the page, rises, produces stunning revelations and culminates when the final paragraph twists expectations once again."-Publishers Weekly (starred) "From the beginning, Saramago is in perfect control of the narrative, and the result is a tour de force."-Denver Post PRAISE FOR BLINDNESS "Blindness is a shattering work by a literary master." -The Boston Globe "This is an important book, one that is unafraid to face all the horrors of the century."-The Washington Post "Extraordinarily nuanced and evocative . . . This year's most propulsive, and profound, thriller."-The Village Voice, A tantalizing novel-shifting and teasing, full of metaphorical labyrinths and false trails.-The Herald (London) Offers an unearthly, muted beauty; a freedom from the obvious, the ideological and trivial; an atmosphere of profound serenity, and a benevolent humor.-Literary Review It is the marriage of the living and the dying...that so strongly characterizes the writing of José Saramago.-The New Statesman The Swedish Academy's citation called his novels 'parables sustained by imagination, compassion and irony.'
