Welcome to Litsy!

Very disconcerting.

It was many years, probably decades since I read this book. It's impact is still felt by me. Wow. I had never read anything like it before and still haven't. One day I will get round to reading Blindness.

An investigation starts that is on the road to nowhere.

Oooh, my lovely best friend bought me this after I'd raved about Blindness :) :)

Brilliant exploration of apathy and political control, written with craft and style. Saramago constructs a bleak picture of the nameless country he writes about but also offers shafts of light. Excellent stuff

Our new book haul. The top 8 books are mine. 😬 The Harvard Bookstore warehouse sale is dangerous!

At one of my favorite used bookstores, OGARA &Wilson, I stumbled across and chose this title. I didn't know there had been a sequel to Blindness. The blank ballots and political upheaval may make this be a modern day horror. The bookstore on the other hand is a delight.

This one seems particularly pertinent, what if there was an election and nobody voted? Saramago as challenging and insightful as always.
