LIFE:

José Saramago became a full-time author in his seventies. Before that he worked as a car mechanic and a journalist, and some other things. His international breakthrough came with the novel Baltasar and Blimunda, published in 1982. Saramago was an atheist and politically in Portugal. His writings were controversial in his native country, and consequently Saramago came to settle on Lanzarote later in life. He maried two times (1944 until 1970) and (1988 until 2010 when he died)

WORK:

José Saramago frequently makes use of allegory in his writing, and fanciful elements are interspersed with a detailed and critical look at society. A characteristic of Saramago’s style is the blending of dialog and narration, with sparse punctuation and long sentences that can extend for several pages. In one of his most successful novels, Blindness (1995), the population is stricken with an epidemic of blindness that quickly leads to societal collapse.
