   Well,I can say that I've never heard of him,I haven't read any work of fiction in over 20 years,but I did however read the link ,just being a militant Atheist ,and a leftist  who spoke his mind about the Palestinians being treated as non-humans by Israel.He sounded like a very interesting person.

Signature ? How ?

  Well you are obviously much more well-read than myself as I had never heard of Saramago until now.  I read the article though and he seemed to be an interesting and articulate fellow and certainly noteworthy.

Yea I looked up that book when you mentioned it on an earlier post. I'll pick it up if I see it at the book store sometime.
