Nov. 16, 1922, Ribetejo, Portugal Life and Works: Portuguese writer, who has combined is his work myths, history of his own country, and surrealistic imagination. Saramago was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1998. He was a good pupil at primary school: in the second class he was writing with no spelling mistakes and the third and fourth classes were done in a single year. Then he was moved up to the grammar school where he stayed two years. For financial reasons he abandoned his high-school studies and trained as a mechanic. In 1947, the year of the birth of his only child, Violante, he published his first book, a novel that he entitled The Widow , but which for editorial reasons appeared as The Land of Sin . He wrote another novel, The Skylight , still unpublished, and started another one, but did not get past the first few pages: its title was to be Honey and Gall, or maybe Louis, son of Tadeus... The matter was settled when he abandoned the project: it was becoming quite clear to him that he had nothing worthwhile to say. For 19 years, till 1966, when he published Possible Poems , a poetry book that marked his return to literature, he was absent from the Portuguese literary scene. After that, in 1970, another book of poems

Life within the mental facility becomes harsh and unsanitary. Fights break out between the quarantined inmates, and factions are formed. The soldiers on the outside, in fear of going blind themselves, do not dare enter, leaving only containers of food at the halfway point between the hospital and the exterior fence, shooting all inmates who happen to stumble beyond that point. Soon, as the soldiers numbers being to dwindle, even the food deliveries cease. The inmates struggle for survival, not knowing whether life goes on outside the guarded fences, or in what form.

Pero llevar a esta edad, sin haber tenido en Algún momento de mi vida la ambición de llegar a esto... Yo he vivido mis días, cada día, en su momento, su hora, su trabajo, su responsabilidad. Como la vida de casi todo el mundo, que nace, vive, crece, trabaja y llega un momento en que se va, sin dejar nada. Podría haber ocurrido eso, sobre todo porque nací en una familia que no tenía nada. Mi madre no sabía leer, mi padre sí, pero no era un águila, y mis primeros libros los compré a los 18 años, aunque había leído muchísimo en las bibliotecas públicas. Por lo tanto, todo en mi vida podía apuntar a algo, pero no al Premio Nobel. ‑De ahí la frase "no he nacido para esto»...

JOSE SARAMAGo José Saramago lo sabe: la ternura en un escritor de 78 años puede ser arrolladoramente seductora. Tal vez por eso hilvana sus ideas sobre cómo ve el mundo sin, por ejemplo, perderle el pulso al microclima de la habitación señorial del hotel señorial que lo aloja en su paso breve por Buenos Aires. "Este asunto del aire acondicionado es cosa seria, no vaya a creer, hay que estar atentos, lo voy a regular: no quiero que se resfríe", comenta. Es sólo una de sus tantas gentilezas. Atrincherado detrás de sus gafas gruesas y su discurso: Saramago es un hombre tierno. Y seductor. Alto, delgado, con una etiqueta sospechosa de pesimista y una valija llena de definiciones sobre política, economía, pobreza y tecnología, tie­ne lo que todo portugués: una caballerosidad que en otros países se considera pasada de moda. Y lo que pocos escritores: el Premio Nobel, que obtuvo en 1998 ‑el primero otorgado a un escritor de lengua portuguesa‑, una distinción que agradeció ante los miembros de la Academia Sueca con un discurso plagado de algunas de sus ideas recurrentes. Esas que lo hicieron ingresar en el lote de escritores "comprometidos", aquellos que participan activamente en la defensa de los más débiles y se suman a las pro­testas frente a las injusticias. Sus cartas a Presidentes y los pedidos de audiencia ante autoridades gubernamentales para manifestar reclamos son tan célebres como la prolífica obra que lo consagró como uno de los mejores narradores de este tiempo.

53. Brazil - BRAZZIL - "Blindness" By Jose Saramago - Brazilian Literature - Book Re The newest nobel Prize in Literature, Portuguese writer José saramago has The amazingPortuguese writer jose saramago has created another compelling tale in http://www.brazzil.com/p47oct98.htm

Brazzil October 1998 Book Review Nightmare in White The newest Nobel Prize in Literature, Portuguese writer José Saramago has just released another book in the U.S. Once again the inimitable Saramago has created a compelling tale. This time a dark one, dealing with a luminous blindness. Bondo Wyszpolski Blindness, by José Saramago, trans. by Giovanni Pontiero (Harcourt Brace, 294 pp., $22) Like most epidemics, it begins simply enough; a man in his car is waiting for the light to change. But before it does, he does. People honk, swear, and none of this helps the man recover his sight: "Nothing, it's as if I were caught in a mist or had fallen into a milky sea. But blindness isn't like that, said the other fellow, they say that blindness is black, Well I see everything white." A luminous whiteness, to be exact. And the blindness spreads, ignoring the logic that "blindness isn't something that can be caught just by a blind man looking at someone who is not, blindness is a private matter between a person and the eyes with which he or she was born." To avert the escalation of this strange phenomenon, the handful of people who have contracted this white sickness, so-called, are rounded up and quarantined in an empty mental hospital. There are two wings, separated by a kind of no man's land, each wing with a courtyard and three wards. There's a core group, and the book (if you'll excuse the pun) will never let them out of sight for very long. These "seven pilgrims" consist of the first blind man, his wife, the doctor who examined the first blind man, the doctor's wife, and three of the doctor's patients—a young woman with dark glasses, a boy with a squint, and an old man with a black eyepatch. If this seems like an odd way to describe characters instead of simply giving them names, it's because this is how the author describes them to us. No one in the book has a proper name.

Brazzil February 2001 Literature Lively Monologue All The Names is for the most part a fascinating story, somewhat politically surreal. Not only is Senhor José a faceless cog in the bureaucratic machine, he lives in a simple house that's butted up against the very archives where he works. Bondo Wyszpolski All The Names, by José Saramago, translated by Margaret Jull Costa (Harcourt, 238 pp., $24) The labyrinthine storage space of the Central Registry of Births, Marriages and Deaths is so vast and complicated that—after one researcher was lost for a week and nearly given up for dead—the clerks who venture into its depths began using what they called `Ariadne's thread,' a lifeline that helps them find their way out. The huge structure sits in an old city that's never identified. As the author describes it, "the whole building had the air of a ruin fixed in time, as if it had been mummified rather than restored when the dilapidated state of its materials demanded it." In the Central Registry (where, indeed, `all the names' are filed) Senhor José is at the lower end of the pecking order, which is shaped like a triangle: eight clerks, four senior clerks, two deputy registrars, and the Registrar himself.

55. Review: Blindness By Jose Saramago disaster. Except the novel I'm describing is Blindness, written byJose saramago, 1998 winner of the nobel Prize for Literature. http://urchin.earth.li/~sax/sf/reviews/blind.html

Home General Biochemistry SF ... Fiction Review: Blindness, by Jose Saramago Without warning, a driver waiting at traffic lights goes blind. A good samaritan takes pity on him, and drives him home to his wife. The next morning, the wife takes her husband to see an optician, who is baffled. That afternoon, the wife goes blind. So does the samaritan. The following morning, the doctor goes blind. Later that day, one by one, the doctor's patients go blind. The contagion spreads through the city. Panicked, the government sets up internment camps, and rounds up the blind. The camps are undermanned and underprovisioned. Thereafter, the situation deteriorates. Standard SF plot, right? Reminiscent of John Wyndham, in fact: total breakdown of society in the face of inexorable disaster. Except the novel I'm describing is Blindness , written by Jose Saramago , 1998 winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature. I first saw Blindness mentioned a couple of years ago, in one of Robert Silverberg's columns for Asimov's . I meant to get hold of a copy - Nobel Prize-winning speculative fiction seeming too good a chance to pass up - but somehow forgot and it was only when a customer came in before christmas to request a copy that I remembered it. That aside, the novel is very good, both as a novel and as science fiction. The breakdown of order, the process of the progression of the blindness - the inevitability of it - is the main thrust of the novel, with the characters doing what they must to survive. In places, the novel is bleak, and brutal; in places, as you might expect from a novel employing a metaphor of such grand power and conception, it is genuinely enlightening. It is never boring, though, even when Saramago is describing the minutiae of life in one of the blind camps, and even when you're struggling through a particularly dense page of exposition and authorial asides directed squarely at the reader. Recommended.

Portuguese writer wins Nobel literature prize Related article A meeting with an immortal - at the mall By Barry Hatton, Associated Press writer LISBON, Portugal Portuguese novelist Jose Saramago, whose exuberant imagination and playfulness have made him popular but whose bluntness sometimes can offend, won the 1998 Nobel Literature Prize yesterday. After years of being nominated and not winning, Saramago saw no reason to stick around the book fair in Germany he was attending to wait for the award's announcement. Instead, the 75-year-old writer left for the airport, and his publisher caught him five minutes before he was to board his plane. Beaming with pride, he returned to the fair in Frankfurt and graciously answered reporters' questions even those that irked him. Asked what he'd do with the $978,000 prize, the tanned and balding man with wispy white hair asked why star athletes are never questioned about what they will do with they money they earn. "We are so used to the fact that writers should be poor, so that every time that a writer gets more money than is normal for his day-to-day life, they are asked what they will do with it," said Saramago, the first Portuguese writer to win the Nobel. Saramago has never courted the kind of fame offered by literary prizes, and his blunt opinions and atheistic outlook have frequently clashed with the establishment and the general public.
