The Stone Raft Nobel Prize Winners (1998) Author Info: Jose Saramago By way of a metaphor that's as subtle as a train wreckthe Iberian Peninsula shears off from the European land mass and starts floating out to seathe Portuguese Nobelist Jose Saramago assays the isolation of Portugal and Spain from the rest of Europe and, for that matter, from the rest of the world. The new island drifts first towards America then South; at one point it rotates; but for the most part it just seems to be adrift. Of course, the oddest thing about all this is that the book was published just as Spain and Portugal were formally joining the European Community and officially ending their years in the wilderness. If Mr. Saramago has a coherent point here it was too nuanced for one as literal as I. And since I didn't much care for the group of characters that he follows, I did not care for the book. It seemed like a mildly clever idea for a short story that went nowhere and did so at too great length.

A Writer's Progress: By Anna Klobucka The History of the Siege of Lisbon , for example, a humble proofreader rewrites both Portugal's national past and the story of his own life by willfully inserting a single word into a historical work he is editing. Multi- Terra do Pecado [Land of Sin] Manual of Painting and Calligraphy , it was subtitled "ensaio de romance," a label that can be translated as both "novel-essay" and "rehearsal for a novel." The latter meaning points to Saramago's notion of writing as an apprenticeship, a laborious process that must be faced with patience and humility. Although both Saramago and his critics emphasize the formative importance and independent value of his earlier works, for a majority of his readers it was his 1982 historical novel Baltasar and Blimunda ( entitled Memorial do Convento in Portuguese that brought him critical acclaim and a wide readership. It is still perhaps the most widely read and studied of Saramago's novels. It was adapted for the stage by the Italian composer Azio Corghi as the opera Blimunda , which premiered in Milan in 1990. Saramago's unorthodox exploration of historical scenarios, begun with his revisitation of the Portuguese eighteenth century in

Click to return to the current issue Photograph by Christina Fallara "I don't see people walking," he says through an interpreter when asked if he's enjoying his brief trip to the States, where he's meeting with his American publisher about his forthcoming novel, The Cave . "I only see cars. I cannot understand why. I do understand the physical part of it, but I don't understand the human part of it, why people don't walk.... To travel in a car all the time is like being in a spaceship that protects you from everything. But if Americans are happy with this way of life, that's up to them." The Land of Sin ), but he didn't publish another ( Manual of Painting and Calligraphy ) until 1977. "I had nothing worth telling, therefore I remained silent," he has said on more than one occasion. Over the past twenty-five years, though, Saramago has moved speedily to become the most famous author Portugal has ever produced, winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize for Literature. He is not only our "strongest living European novelist" but one of the world's few living geniuses, according to author, critic and professor Harold Bloom, whose latest book is, appropriately enough, Genius: A Mosaic of One Hundred Exemplary Creative Minds . Saramago now lives on the Canary Islands with his wife, Spanish journalist Pilar del Rio, and their dogs, animals who figure prominently in the author's work as seers, caregivers and creatures more sympathetic and perceptive than humans. He moved there to the island of Lanzarote in 1992 after a feud with the Portuguese government, which, along with the Vatican, denounced his controversial novel

from the September/October 2000 issue Jose the Obscure Adam Langer This is an archived page. Click to return to the current issue All the Names Harcourt 256 pages Jose Saramago Translated from the Portuguese by Margaret Jull Costa There is a certain comforting feeling you can get from being in the presence of greatness. Like watching the Chicago Bears of 1985 or the Montreal Canadiens of the 1970s, listening to John Coltrane blaze through "My Favorite Things" or Hoagy Carmichael croon "Baltimore Oriole." The outcome is never in doubt. The key game will assuredly be won. A false note will not be struck. All you have to do is sit back, relax and let it all unfold. This soothing sense also comes from reading the fiction of Jose Saramago. A master storyteller and fabulist in the tradition of Franz Kafka, Italo Calvino and G.K. Chesterton, the Portuguese-born, 1998 Nobel Prize-winning author of Blindness The Year of the Death of Ricardo Reis The History of the Siege of Lisbon and The Gospel According to Jesus Christ His desperate search for the unknown woman leads Senhor Jose on a consistently surprising and often harrowing journey that finds him becoming more and more bold, leading him to forge documents, ask probing questions of her neighbors, break into the school she attended as a child and, in one particularly chilling scene, spend a night in another labyrinth: the city's sprawling, overgrown cemetery, which Saramago describes as an octopus with sixty-four tentacles. The unofficial motto of the cemetery is the same as that of the Central Registry: All the Names.

E scritor portugués, uno de los novelistas actuales más apreciados en el mundo entero. Periodista y miembro del Partido Comunista Portugués sufrió censura y persecución durante los años de la dictadura de Salazar. Se sumó a la llamada "Revolución de los Claveles" que llevó la democracia a Portugal, en el año 1974. Escéptico e intelectual mantuvo y mantiene una postura ética y estética por encima de partidismos políticos, y comprometido con el género humano. En la actualidad, consagrado como escritor universal, divide su residencia entre Lisboa y la isla española de Lanzarote (Canarias). Alzado del suelo (1980) fue la novela que le reveló como el gran novelista maduro y renovador portugués. Se trata de una novela histórica, situada en el Alentejo entre 1910 y 1979, con un lenguaje campesino, una estructura sólida y documentada y un estilo humorístico y sarcástico que llamó enormemente la atención en su momento. Siguieron obras de gran interés como Memorial del convento El año de la muerte de Ricardo Reis La balsa de piedra Historia del cerco de Lisboa El evangelio según Jesucristo (1991) y Ensayo sobre la ceguera (1995), obra en la que el autor desde planteamientos éticos advierte sobre "la responsabilidad de tener ojos cuando otros los perdieron". Saramago, escéptico pero solidario, reflexiona en esta novela sobre si cabrá la esperanza tras este nuevo milenarismo que la humanidad está viviendo. En 1998 recibió el Premio Nobel de Literatura, siendo el primer escritor portugués en conseguirlo. ©
