"The clarity and compassion of [Saramago’s] vision make Seeing worthy of its name" (The Washington Post). "Saramago for the last 25 years stood his own with any novelist of the Western world. He was the equal of Philip Roth, Gunter Grass, Thomas Pynchon and Don DeLillo. His genius was remarkably versatile — he was at once a great comic and a writer of shocking earnestness and grim poignancy. It is hard to believe he will not survive" (Harold Bloom).
