Saramago

If you haven't read this long story on José Saramago, aka, the greatest living writer, check it out.

If you haven't read his books, please treat your brain right and do so.

My one criticism of the piece is the slap at Saramago's politics. You know, I really don't care if he is Stalinist. It just doesn't matter. If you don't want to listen to him compare the Palestinian refugee camps to Nazi concentration camps, then just read his books and don't read his political speeches. I'm not sure why we should look to authors as political leaders anyway.
