Death at Intervals | Jos Saramago

Pickpick

Compelling, paradoxical in its writing, in its communication, in its digressions, in the narrator's comments during the story, in the story itself.
If you read with the right eyes, with a look that goes beyond reality, you can understand the author's denunciation of the materiality of modern man, the church and politics. And he does it with biting sarcasm (which I personally love).
Definitely love it

This book is disturbing, exciting and complex. It makes me think. It‘s HARD to read did to the structure and style. So I am both reading and listening at he same time and it helps a lot. #JoseSaramago #audiobook

WanderingBookaneer It is challenging, but such a fascinating and original book. 5y
Liz_M I loved this book. But it did take my bookclub a few months to forgive me for recommending it. Oops. 😁 5y
KellyHunsakerReads I just finished and loved it! So glad I didn‘t recommend it to my IRL book club. They would not appreciate it! 5y
Liz_M I also recommend the tagged book by Saramago. It's a bit more detective novel and thoughtful about self-hood. 5y

Small Memories | Jos Saramago

Mehso-so

In this work, "Pequenas Memórias", José Saramago brings us a piece of his young himself.
In spite of his characteristic and pleasurable prose, and due to an intentional rigor non chronological, I missed a leading thread in the author's memories. #josesaramago #portugueseauthors #nobelprize #bookreview #smallnemories

Because, sir, in case you don't know it, words move, they change from one day to the next, they are as unstable as shadows, are themselves shadows, which both are and have ceased to be, soap bubbles, shells in which one can barely hear a whisper, mere tree stumps. #death #dark #josesaramago

This week I am returning to one of my all time favourite authors, #josesaramago. I haven't read this book of his before, but I am a huge fan so far, and of all his work. #discoveringwritinglife #greatbooks #writinginspiration
