Talvez pegar para reler no futuro. Nessa tentativa de leitura o livro me cansou. A premissa inicial é curiosa, mas não consegui seguir com os personagens e sentir vontade de ver o desenvolver da história deles. Arrastei um pouco, mas não senti que avançava. Pulei umas partes e sentia que continuava no mesmo ritmo.
Os problemas centrais apresentados são um plano de fundo para um outro discurso. Parece que acompanhamos o cotidiano comum, sendo que todo o cenário sofre pelo emergir de coisas que à primeira vista são pura fantasia. Não vi porém o fantástico se conectando com o real, no sentido de ganhar explicações.
De modo geral, cansei do livro. Futuramente talvez tente novamente.

Seria tudo mais fácil de entender se confessássemos, simplesmente, o nosso infinito medo, esse que nos leva a povoar o mundo de imagens à semelhança do que somos ou julgamos ser, salvo se tão obsessivo esforço é, pelo contrário, uma invenção da coragem, ou a mera teimosia de quem se recusa a não estar onde o vazio estiver, a não dar sentido ao que sentido não terá.

Serious literary fiction. A bit of a slog, but with interesting ideas.
I really wanted to like this one. I got about 50% through it.
I’m a little bit dyslexic, but I don’t usually have difficulty reading novels.
There were some interesting stylistic choice with the very large paragraphs and the lack of quotation marks. For me this lead to more letters dropping lines and it was difficult for me to read.
I may try to find this one as an audiobook to finish it. If you don’t struggle with dyslexia I don’t think this would apply to you.

Saramago had a incredible imagination. He always added something intriguing in his novels and of course human fell wings are expressed in a very cruel manner.
honestly, i picked this up hoping it would be as compelling as blindness and it just wasn't. saramago's other books seem to be a little more drawn out and, well, slow.
