	José Saramago e as FARC
		José Saramago, em entrevista a Yamid Amat, publicada no dia 28 de Novembro pp, pelo diário El Tiempo de Bogotá, o influente diário da oligarquia colombiana (400 mil exemplares), emitiu opiniões sobre as organizações guerrilheiras daquele pais que pelo seu conteúdo suscitaram compreensível surpresa.
		É estranhável também que José Saramago na extensa entrevista em que nega aos guerrilheiros colombianos a dignidade de revolucionários comunistas se tenha esquecido de incluir qualquer crítica ao presidente Álvaro Uribe, um político de extrema direita, ligado pelo seu passado aos bandos de paramilitares e narcotraficantes, responsável por uma estratégia de terrorismo de estado.
		Saramago é um grande escritor que pela sua obra conquistou enorme e merecido prestigio mundial.

	José Saramago - Autobiography
		Not until the age of seven, when I had to present an identification document at primary school, was it realised that my full name was José de Sousa Saramago...
		José de Sousa would have been my own name had not the Registrar, on his own inititiave added the nickname by which my father's family was known in the village: Saramago.
		I should add that saramago is a wild herbaceous plant, whose leaves in those times served at need as nourishment for the poor.

	José Saramago: Biografía
		José Saramago nació en Azinhaga (Portugal) en 1922.
		El trabajo narrativo de José Saramago goza desde entonces de una admiración sin límites, que cada nuevo título va confirmando: "La balsa de piedra" (1986), "Historia del cerco de Lisboa" (1989), "El evangelio según Jesucristo" (1991), "Casi un objeto" (1994), "Viaje a Portugal" (1995) o "Ensayo sobre la ceguera" (1996).
		Y quizá sea cierto, aunque ello en modo alguno vaya en contra de una cuestión mucho más importante: Saramago es dueño de un mundo propio, minuciosamente creado, libro a libro, y su obra lleva muchos años situándolo en el primer plano literario de su país.

	Jose Saramago
		José Saramago was born in Azinhaga, in the province of Ribatejo.
		Saramago was educated as a technician, and before becoming a journalist, translator, and writer, he did a number of manual jobs.
		All this Saramago paralles with the creative process of a writer: "The gaping mouth sends up a cry we shall never hear, for none of these things is real, what we are contemplating is mere paper and ink, nothing more." Maria Magdalene is a prostitute to whom Jesus gives his virginity.

	BOMB Magazine: Jose Saramago by Katherine Vaz
		José Saramago (the "J" is pronounced like the English "J," not the Spanish one) published his first novel, The Land of Sin, in 1947, and there followed a lacuna in his literary output, though he worked as a journalist, critic, and translator.

	Mass Humanities: An Interview with Jose Saramago
		José Saramago was born on November 16, 1922, the child of landless peasants in Azinhaga, Portugal, a small village northeast of Lisbon.
		Saramago's unorthodox exploration of historical scenarios, begun with his revisitation of the Portuguese eighteenth century in Baltasar and Blimunda, continued throughout the 1980s and beyond, from the 1930s Portugal of Salazar's dictatorship in The Year of the Death of Ricardo Reis (1984) to ancient Galilee in The Gospel According to Jesus Christ (1991).
		Although both Saramago and his critics emphasize the formative importance and independent value of his earlier works, for a majority of his readers it was his 1982 historical novel Baltasar and Blimunda (entitled Memorial do Convento in Portuguese) that brought him critical acclaim and a wide readership.

	Guardian Unlimited Books By genre Observer review: The Double by José Saramago
		José Saramago's new novel is an exception: the sentences may not always be long, but the paragraphs certainly are.
		Saramago has a distinctive imagination, characterised not by leaps or flights but by a sublime grinding, as anyone who has read his implacable fable, Blindness, can confirm.
		After all, Saramago, born in 1922, is of an age to have seen existentialism and absurdism come and go.

	Amazon.ca: Books: All the Names
		Jose Saramago performs a splendid job of getting into the head of Senhor Jose by highlighting the deductions of internal thought and inquiry and protecting scenarios of anticipated dialogue with others, as demonstrated by his internal dialogues with the ceiling in his house.
		Saramago's method resulted in a highly enjoyable and nuanced protagonist that is believable and three-dimensional.
		Celebrity is cast aside as Senhor José begins a search for this mysterious quarry--a quest that will lead him into conflict with his superior, the Registrar, and ensnare him in the kind of messy personal histories and tangled relationships he has thus far avoided in his own life.

	Boston.com / A&E / Books / 'The Double' is divinely disorienting
		At his best, José Saramago makes us feel as though his ramblings are ours -- or would be ours, anyway, were we present in the timeless locales to which he loves to transport readers.
		His digressions may be hard to follow, but Saramago, the Nobel Prize-winning author of novels such as "The Year of the Death of Ricardo Reis" and "The Cave," always rewards the journey.
		It is his willingness to challenge political and religious convention, to question what are held as universal truths, and to be so damning in his sendups.

	NOBEL PRIZE: Literature
		But while last year's selection of Italian playwright Dario Fo was perceived by many as a slight to more accomplished authors, few begrudge the winner of this year's prize, Portuguese novelist and poet José Saramago.
		On the day the Nobel literature prize was announced, the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano objected to the choice, calling Saramago an "old-school" communist with a "substantially anti-religious vision."
		The novel created such a stir that, in 1992, Portuguese officials removed Saramago's name from a list of nominees for the European Literary Prize.

		Interest appears to be increasing, however, as witnessed by the recent wave of translations (of the poet Fernando Pessoa and contemporary writers José Saramago and António Lobo Antunes, for example).
		It is curious that although it is traditionally taught at U.S. universities, and although some Portuguese writers, such as José Rodrigues Miguéis and Jorge de Sena, have lived in the United States for long periods of time, contemporary Portuguese literature is still little known in the Anglo-Saxon world, in contrast with Continental Europe.
