Las cloacas del poder se ponen en marcha: What gets me is not the rape or that the author thinks it would occur in this situation. View all 3 comments. Now, this book is written in an infuriating way that gets old after. The countless instances in which suspension of disbelief is just impossible. See all books by Jose Saramago. It’s a shame that he punishes the reader so much – not only does he eschew quotes, but he also nearly completely avoids using paragraph breaks and indentation m Saramago, I hear, works closely with his translator, so you can’t blame him or her for the brutal and unforgiving diction of this deeply unpleasant novel.

I think Albert Camus did a much better job of depicting human nature during an epidemic in “The Plague” though I did f That’s it, I’m done!!
There’s almost no periods. But does she prevent them from happening? The sole exception, the doctor’s wife all of the characters are referred to only by epithetis left to guide a small group of blind people through the resulting chaos and chronicle its horrors including mass rape, starvation, and endless streams of human feces. I don’t even want to go into the gang rape scene and the way the women embrace it as “the only way to ensure our men get fed” because some blind jerk in another ward brought a gun and is holding food hostage, but I spent entirely too much of this book brainstorming solutions for these individuals’ various problems.
Punctuation is your friend.
Subtle this book is not. I’m not ashamed to admit, that when I read for entertainment, I do not read as critically as perhaps others who do appreciate this book.

She has the element of surprise way, way on her side. This is one of the most tedious books I’ve ever encountered! They proceeded very slowly, afraid of falling, the blind man dragged his feet, but this caused him to stumble on the uneven pavement, Be patient, we’re almost there, the other murmured, and a little further ahead, he asked, Is there anyone at home to look after you, and the blind man replied, Ceguerx don’t know, my wife won’t be back from work yet, today it so happened that I left earlier only to have this hit me.
