NEW ARRIVALS: José Saramago books at Elizabeths Bookshop :) Do you enjoy reading Saramago ? We think hes BRILLIANT! José de Sousa Saramago, (16 November 1922 – 18 June 2010) was a Portuguese writer and recipient of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Literature. His works, some of which can be seen as allegories, commonly present subversive perspectives on historic events, emphasizing the human factor. Harold Bloom described Saramago as the greatest living novelist and considers him to be a permanent part of the Western canon,[1]while James Wood praises the distinctive tone to his fiction because he narrates his novels as if he were someone both wise and ignorant.
