Blindness
2022: SARAMAGO YEAR A novel and an author who warn us about «the responsibility of having eyes when others have lost them». «Inside us there is something that has no name, that thing is what we are». A man standing at a red light suddenly goes blind. It is the first case of a «white blindness» that spreads devastatingly. Interned in quarantine or lost in the city, the blind will have to face the most primitive in human nature: the will to survive at any cost. Blindness is the fiction of an author who warns us about «the responsibility of having eyes when others have lost them». José Saramago draws in this book a terrifying and moving image of the times we are living in. In such a world, will there be any hope? The reader will experience a unique imaginative experience. At a point where literature and wisdom intersect, José Saramago forces us to stop, close our eyes and see. Recovering lucidity and rescuing affection are two fundamental proposals of a novel that is also a reflection on the ethics of love and solidarity. Critics have said: «Saramago has always shown a bold imagination as a novelist. This is his most surprising and unsettling work». «There is no cynicism or morality, only a lucid and compassionate recognition of things as they are, a quality that can only be honestly described as wisdom». «There are novels, like this one, that after being read will continue to illuminate tunnels in consciousness, opening doors to rooms we had not looked into despite being within us». «Saramago makes an elusive reality understandable, with parables sustained by imagination, compassion and irony». «A man with a sensitivity and a capacity to see and understand that are far above what we common mortals generally see and understand». «Saramago is an example, a very dignified style of life and literature, which demonstrates the possibility of swimming against the current [...]. His word has the value of an antifreeze, of a personal remedy against the gales of cynicism that surround us». «I don't know, nor do I want to know, where Saramago got that diabolical narrative tone, tough and pious at the same time, [...] that allows him to tell so close to the heart and at the same time so close to history». «Saramago writes novels about myths to demystify them, [...] always to address the reality around him, to deal with current problems that are everyone's, and so that everything is clear from the beginning». «Like Günter Grass or Cees Nooteboom, Saramago aspires to connect with a public that transcends national limits». |
