But if you surrender to the current, you realize the genius. Saramago does not write to be comfortable; he writes to be transformative.

Have you read Blindness ? Did you finish The Gospel ? Let me know in the comments below—just don’t expect me to use quotation marks to reply. “The world is not perfect. It needs to be corrected. The first step is to recognize that we are flawed.” — José Saramago
