Review title: I have read few books this moving
Product review: After reading one of his books, I understand why Saramago won the Nobel prize. This book grabbed ahold of me and has not let me go, even three months later. The premise of blindness becomes a disturbing allegory of modern civilization where characters and places have no name. Of particular importance is the commentary on homelessness and disease. One character states that now that they are blind, no matter what they die of will have the stain of blindness - blindness and hunger, blindness and AIDS, etc. Although I talked with my wife about the novel, I could not wholeheartedly recommend her to read it because as moving as it is, the events are at times as revolting as literature can get. If you read literature to trigger emotion and thought, I can think of few novels that do that better than Blindness.
