Your next favorite book
is waiting.
by Jose Saramago, translated Margaret Jull Costa
What begins as a satire on governments and the sometimes dubious efficacy of the democratic system turns into something far more sinister. A singular novel from the author of Blindness.
"The allegorical blindness/sight framework is weak and obvious .... Yet it works: as the novel establishes its figures it acquires the momentum of a bedroom farce, baldly sending up EU politicos and major media editorialists." - PW.
"Very nearly equal to the magnificent Blindness: another invaluable gift from a matchless writer." - Kirkus Reviews
