As always I love Saramago's characteristic writing style were the dialogue seems to lull you with it's rhythm and where a focused and intuitive reader needs not many explanations to know who's talking or how the action is unfolding.
Maybe it's because I share the writer's nationality but he's novels era always imprinted with such a familiarity that sceneries don't need very much describing for me to be able to picture them in my mind. And the way he uses common sense phrases either in the dialogue or in the descriptions always makes me chuckle.
