The late José Saramago, the 1998 Nobel Laureate, is a household name in Portugal and in the world today. There was a time few knew about him and that's why I sought to read his very first novel.
I think I'd enjoy this novel, the excerpts you posted – especially the 'Last Supper' one – are really good. Thanks, Kalpana, for your intriguing review.
Thanks for putting this novel on my radar! I’ve only read his “Blindness,” which was simultaneously difficult and enthralling. His lyrical writing paired with the subject matter of art—well, sign me up! Fantastic review!
