About the author

Jos茅 Saramago

292books15.9kfollowers
Jos茅 de Sousa Saramago (16 November 1922 鈥� 18 June 2010) was a Portuguese novelist and recipient of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Literature, for his "parables sustained by imagination, compassion and irony [with which he] continually enables us once again to apprehend an elusory reality." His works, some of which have been seen as allegories, commonly present subversive perspectives on historic events, emphasizing the theopoetic. In 2003 Harold Bloom described Saramago as "the most gifted novelist alive in the world today."

What happens if people stop dying? After a general celebration many people are actually in trouble: undertakers, those who work for cemeteries and insurance companies and others. The nation passes a law that pets must be given full burials! Insurance companies change procedures so that people in their 80鈥檚 get the benefits. Even religions have a problem: if people don鈥檛 expect to die鈥�.?

description

Lady Death has taken a holiday in this one country. (And she is a she in languages with gendered pronouns.) But people still age. Now Grandma will be suffering up in that corner bedroom indefinitely. Some people start smuggling the very elderly across the border where they die and are buried. A new industry grows up around that. Are they heroes or villains? A lot of the early part of the book is a cynical description of political compromise and government inefficiency and corruption.

After all this ruckus, Death (although she prefers using the lower case 鈥榙鈥�) decides to send a letter to the prime minister of the country announcing that Death will resume her duties but that in the future everyone will receive a purple envelope with a letter announcing their death a week in advance so they can put their affairs in order.

But one letter keeps getting returned by the post office 鈥� nothing mystical, probably just the usual bureaucratic screw-ups. Death leaves her cold, windowless office and decides to investigate. The person the letter is addressed to is a middle-aged man, a cellist, living a solitary life with his dog. Death starts spying on him as home without being seen, but then assumes human form and starts going to his concerts鈥�

Some lines I liked:

鈥溾€ut neither did we want merely to relegate it to the darkness of the inkwell.鈥�

鈥溾€hey went out for wool and came home shorn.鈥�

鈥淥ne cannot be too careful with words, they change their minds just as people do.鈥�

The book has chapter breaks but is structured in page-length paragraphs with mostly commas. There is occasional dialogue but no quotation marks.

A good read although not my favorite by Nobel Prize winner Saramago.

Intermit锚ncias da Morte = Death with Interruptions = Death at Intervals, Jos茅 Saramago (1922 - 2010)

Death with Interruptions (published in Britain as Death at Intervals), is a novel written by Jos茅 Saramago. First released in 2005 in its original Portuguese, the novel was translated into English by Margaret Jull Costa in 2008.

The novel centers around death as both a phenomenon, and as an anthropomorphized character. A key focus of the book is how society relates to death in both of these forms, and likewise, how death relates to the people she is meant to kill.

隆Gran libro! 驴Qu茅 pasar铆a si...?

En realidad 4,4

Es dif铆cil aceptarlo, pero todos los seres vivos tenemos que pagar un alto precio por nacer y existir, ese precio se llama la muerte. Le tememos, le huimos, lloramos ante su presencia, nos genera malos recuerdos, y nos produce una inquietud constante por desconocer el d铆a en que nuestros familiares o nosotros mismos, tengamos que enfrentar en persona esa experiencia. Es una autopista que no queremos recorrer nunca pero hace parte de nuestra naturaleza, hace parte de nuestro camino, y por ello, aunque no nos guste, tenemos que aprender a ser conscientes de la importancia que tiene la muerte en el planeta. Cuando somos j贸venes pensamos en la muerte como algo lejano y que no nos preocupa tanto, pero a medida que vamos aumentando de edad cambiamos nuestra forma de vivir la vida, y ese cambio nos ayuda a contemplar la cantidad de seres nuevos que han llegado a este mundo; seres que reci茅n comienzan su camino y que observamos como un propio reflejo de nuestro pasado. Cuando salgo a caminar observo a los estudiantes de colegio, observo los ni帽os peque帽os que corren sin detenerse, y no puedo negar que, aunque no soy viejo, me siento con mucha nostalgia porque s茅 que yo tambi茅n he vivido lo que ellos est谩n viviendo, y parecen recuerdos tan, pero tan lejanos, que en ese mismo instante me hacen percatarme de mi edad, del paso del tiempo, y del lento pero seguro acercamiento a la muerte que alg煤n d铆a vivir茅. La muerte siempre ser谩 protagonista en cualquier sociedad de cualquier 茅poca, por lo que as铆 como nuestros antepasados en alg煤n momento sintieron incertidumbre por su fin, de la misma manera nuestros hijos y nietos en el futuro tambi茅n sentir谩n la angustia de desconocer la hora de su desaparici贸n. Pero, 驴qu茅 pasar铆a si m谩gicamente un d铆a nadie volviera a morir? 驴C贸mo cambiar铆a el funcionamiento del mundo? Pues bien, esa es la raz贸n por la que este libro ha tocado mi alma, lo ha hecho porque la creatividad de Saramago para imaginar ese escenario ha sido espectacular.

Justamente, como acabo de mencionar, en Las intermitencias de la muerte, encontramos un pa铆s en el que misteriosamente un d铆a las personas dejan de morir. Eso causa que todos empiecen a celebrar con frenes铆 por su victoria ante la muerte, ya que nunca desaparecer谩n de este mundo y nunca tendr谩n que vivir esta terrible experiencia. Pero, entre m谩s pasan los d铆as, la sociedad va comprendiendo que la ausencia de la muerte no es tan conveniente como parece. Sin muerte los reyes ser谩n eternos, sin muerte las funerarias no tendr谩n c贸mo trabajar, sin muerte se pierden las creencias en la religi贸n, sin muerte todo se vuelve un caos. Nuestra tarea como lectores, ser谩 imaginar los escenarios que Jos茅 Saramago nos presenta, imaginar una sociedad inmersa en la desesperaci贸n por no saber qu茅 hacer, por no ser capaces de matar ni siquiera a los ancianos. Nuestra tarea ser谩 acompa帽ar a aquel pueblo en sus desgracias, y conocer la recursividad que usar谩 cada una de las organizaciones pertenecientes a dicho sistema, para intentar sobrevivir en un mundo patas arriba.

Es un libro que me ha parecido tan original y tan interesante, que naturalmente he quedado con ansias de leer m谩s de las obras de Jos茅 Saramago. Reconozco que es la primera vez que leo a este autor, pero si todas sus historias tienen la magia que sent铆 en esta obra, no puedo negar que en el futuro puede convertirse en uno de mis autores favoritos. Eso s铆, no es f谩cil leer este libro. No es nada f谩cil porque la prosa que maneja el autor es muy diferente a lo que estamos acostumbrados: Saramago no usa el lenguaje como normalmente lo usamos, 茅l lo usa de la manera que se le da la gana. Saramago escribe pr谩cticamente toda la historia en un mismo p谩rrafo, sin puntos aparte, sin guiones, sin dos puntos, sin punto y coma, nada de eso. Si necesita usar un di谩logo, simplemente coloca una coma antes del inicio del di谩logo, la siguiente palabra la comienza con una may煤scula, cuando la frase termina lo hace con una coma, y luego contin煤a su historia con total naturalidad. Cuando comenc茅 qued茅 perplejo porque no sab铆a d贸nde detenerme para hacer una pausa, por lo que fue muy dif铆cil acostumbrarme a su estilo tan particular. Lo bueno fue que una vez logr茅 adaptarme, entend铆 que pod铆a pausar en cualquier momento, que deb铆a detenerme obligatoriamente en cada coma, y que necesitaba mi m谩xima concentraci贸n para comprender todos los mensajes que el autor deseaba transmitir. Lo curioso es que a pesar de su estilo tan extra帽o para escribir, Saramago fue un genio para jugar con las palabras, para burlarse de 茅l mismo, para hacer cr铆ticas elegantes y exquisitas sobre el funcionamiento de la sociedad, y esas situaciones le dan un toque de humor ir贸nico que permite entretenerte y hacerte sonre铆r de vez en cuando. Asimismo, otra curiosidad sobre su estilo, es que Saramago no necesit贸 colocarle nombre a sus personajes: Bastante inesperado. En verdad la prosa de Saramago me desconcert贸 al comienzo, pero despu茅s ese desconcierto se convirti贸 en admiraci贸n por su originalidad. La prosa de Saramago, me ha dejado la gran ense帽anza, de que para crear un libro no siempre se necesita seguir los mismos pasos que todos realizan. Tambi茅n hay que jugar, hay que ser creativos, hay que innovar, hay que realizar una deconstrucci贸n del lenguaje para hallar nuevas formas de comunicarnos: Una genialidad su estilo. Les dejo estas l铆neas para que puedan entenderme un poco mejor a lo que me refiero:

芦Las religiones, todas, por m谩s vueltas que le demos, no tienen otra justificaci贸n para existir que no sea la muerte, la necesitan como pan para la boca. Los delegados de las religiones no se toman la molestia de protestar. Al contrario, uno de ellos, reputado integrante del sector cat贸lico, dijo, Tiene raz贸n, se帽or fil贸sofo, justo para eso existimos, para que las personas se pasen toda la vida con el miedo colgado al cuello y, cuando les llegue su hora, acojan la muerte como una liberaci贸n, El para铆so, Para铆so o infierno, o cosa ninguna, lo que pase despu茅s de la muerte nos importa mucho menos de lo que generalmente se cree, la religi贸n, se帽or fil贸sofo, es un asunto de la tierra, no tiene nada que ver con el cielo,禄


Sinceramente este libro me ha parecido muy intrigante, interesante y bastante atrapante. Es de esos libros que te exponen una historia y te hacen reflexionar toda la noche por lo que le铆ste; es de esos libros que te hacen replantearte el verdadero significado de la vida; es de esos libros que te hacen comprender lo perfecta que es la naturaleza al regalarnos el don de vivir, pero a la vez de morir; es de esos libros que no olvidas; es de esos libros que te hacen sentir humano porque te tocan el alma; es uno de esos libros que recomendar铆a a cualquier persona, a pesar de lo dif铆cil de su prosa.

Entre las cr铆ticas m谩s importantes que se pueden encontrar en esta lectura 鈥攁dem谩s de la muerte鈥�, destacar铆a la que se expone sobre la vejez. En gran parte de la novela notamos ese dilema moral que no solo sienten los seres que viven en aquel lugar, sino en todo el mundo. Por una parte nadie quiere que sus familiares m谩s viejos fallezcan, pero por otra parte a muchas personas les resultan estorbando aquellos familiares porque ya no son de utilidad, les estorban, no tienen tiempo para acompa帽arlos, no tienen dinero para contratar a alguien para cuidarlos, ya no los quieren, o dem谩s. Despu茅s de tantas experiencias, despu茅s de tantos recuerdos, Saramago nos expone con muchos ejemplos esa ingratitud hacia los m谩s ancianos que ocurre diariamente en todos los rincones del planeta. Sinceramente, ya que menciono este tema, no puedo apartar de esta rese帽a la transcripci贸n exacta de la f谩bula que me hizo soltar una l谩grima en el instante que la le铆. No tiene spoilers, no se preocupen:

芦脡rase una vez, en el antiguo pa铆s de las f谩bulas, una familia integrada por un padre, una madre, un abuelo que era el padre del padre y el ya mencionado ni帽o de ocho a帽os, un muchachito. Suced铆a que el abuelo ya ten铆a mucha edad, por eso le temblaban las manos y se le ca铆a la comida de la boca cuando estaban a la mesa, lo que causaba gran irritaci贸n al hijo y a la nuera, siempre dici茅ndole que tuviera cuidado con lo que hac铆a, pero el pobre viejo, por m谩s que quisiera, no consegu铆a contener los temblores, peor a煤n si le rega帽aban, el resultado era que siempre manchaba el mantel o el suelo al dejar caer la comida, por no hablar de la servilleta que le ataban al cuello y que era necesario cambiarla tres veces al d铆a, en el que desayuno, al almuerzo y a la cena. Estaban las cosas as铆 y sin ninguna expectativa de mejor铆a cuando el hijo decidi贸 acabar con la desagradable situaci贸n. Apareci贸 en casa con un cuenco de madera y le dijo al padre, A partir de ahora comer谩 aqu铆, sentado en el patio que es m谩s f谩cil de limpiar para que su nuera no tenga que estarse preocupando con tantos manteles y tantas servilletas sucias. Y as铆 fue. Desayuno, almuerzo y cena, el viejo sentado solo en el patio, llev谩ndose la comida a la boca conforme era posible, la mitad se perd铆a en el camino, una parte de la otra mitad se le ca铆a por la boca abajo, no era mucho lo que se le deslizaba por lo que el vulgo llama canal de la sopa. Al nieto no parec铆a importarle el feo tratamiento que le estaban dando al abuelo, lo miraba, luego miraba al padre y a la madre, y segu铆a comiendo como si nada tuviera que ver con el asunto. Hasta que una tarde, al regresar del trabajo, el padre vio al hijo trabajando con una navaja un trozo de madera y crey贸 que, como era normal y corriente en esas 茅pocas remotas, estar铆a construyendo un juguete con sus propias manos. Al d铆a siguiente, sin embargo, se dio cuenta de que no se trataba de un carro, por lo menos no se ve铆a el sitio donde se le pudieran encajar unas ruedas, y entonces pregunt贸, Qu茅 est谩s haciendo. El ni帽o fingi贸 que no hab铆a o铆do y sigui贸 excavando en la madera con la punta de la navaja, esto pas贸 en el tiempo que los padres eran menos asustadizo y no corr铆an a quitar de las manos de los hijos un instrumento de tanta utilidad para la fabricaci贸n de juguetes. No me has o铆do, qu茅 est谩s haciendo con ese palo, volvi贸 a preguntar el padre, y el hijo, sin levantar la vista de la operaci贸n, respondi贸, Estoy haciendo un cuenco para cuando seas viejo y te tiemblen las manos, para cuando tengas que comer en el patio, como el abuelo. Fueron palabras santas. Se cayeron las escamas de los ojos del padre, vio la verdad y la luz, y en el mismo instante fue a pedirle perd贸n al progenitor y cuando lleg贸 la hora de la cena con sus propias manos lo ayud贸 a sentarse en la silla, con sus propias manos le acerc贸 la cuchara a la boca, con sus propias manos le limpi贸 suavemente la barbilla, porque todav铆a pod铆a hacerlo y su querida padre ya no. De lo que pasara despu茅s no hay se帽al en la historia, pero de ciencia muy cierta sabemos que si es verdad que el trabajo del muchachito se qued贸 a la mitad, tambi茅n es verdad que el trozo de madera sigue por ah铆. Nadie lo quiso quemar o tirar, ya sea para que la lecci贸n del ejemplo no cayera en el olvido, o por si se diera el caso de que alguien decidiera terminar la obra, eventualidad no del todo imposible de producirse si tenemos en cuenta la enorme capacidad de supervivencia de los dichos lados oscuros de la naturaleza humana.禄


Tremenda historia, 驴verdad? Pues de eso es lo que es capaz Saramago en todo el libro. En tan pocas p谩ginas el autor logra crear cr铆ticas muy buenas sobre la religi贸n, la vejez, la conciencia, la eutanasia, el oportunismo y emprendimiento (aspecto clave), el amor, el ego铆smo hacia las generaciones futuras, etc. Es una obra muy profunda que tiene la combinaci贸n de ficci贸n y realismo m谩gico, pero con la capacidad de hacer reflexionar al lector como si fuera un ensayo. No les miento, despu茅s de leer esta obra, siento que a煤n no s茅 leer y que me falta mucho camino por recorrer para realmente aprender.

A pesar de todo lo mencionado, he decidido no calificar este libro con cinco estrellas porque el tramo final ha sido bonito, pero en mi opini贸n ha sido la parte m谩s floja del libro. Sent铆 como si despu茅s de cierta parte, el libro hubiera ido de m谩s a menos, y esa magia de las cr铆ticas, los mensajes para reflexionar, etc., desaparecieron por completo. Adem谩s, el final ha sido correcto, pero esperaba algo diferente, algo no tan 芦bonito禄.

En resumen, una obra de gran calidad pero con una prosa muy compleja de entender al principio. Eso s铆, el premio de nuestra paciencia, perseverancia, y concentraci贸n, ser谩 un libro atiborrado de situaciones interesantes sobre las cuales analizar. Un libro sobre la vida, la muerte, y el amor, que seguramente permanecer谩 muchos, pero muchos siglos, en la c煤spide de libros cl谩sicos de la literatura universal. Libro muy recomendado.

The dream of immortality has always fascinated humanity. The dream of eternal life has founded religions that changed the shape of the world. What if it were true?
"The following day, no one died."
So begins Jos茅 Saramago's Death with Interruptions. In an unnamed small European country without any explanations people have stopped dying - an eternal dream come true, right?

What else can we want now, once the threat of unavoidable demise has been removed seemingly forever, once the unstoppable Grim Reaper seems to have retired?
"Having lived, until those days of confusion, in what they had imagined to be the best of all possible and probable worlds, they were discovering, with delight, that the best, the absolute best, was happening right now, right there, at the door of their house, a unique and marvelous life without the daily fear of parca鈥檚 creaking scissors, immortality in the land that gave us our being, safe from any metaphysical awkwardnesses and free to everyone, with no sealed orders to open at the hour of our death, announcing at that crossroads where dear companions in this vale of tears known as earth were forced to part and set off for their different destinations in the next world, you to paradise, you to purgatory, you down to hell."

Well, once the celebrations died down, it quickly becomes obvious that this paradise on earth comes at a price. Immortality is not eternal youth, and ultimately what we have is hundreds and thousands of people suspended on the edge of dying, in the in-between state, neither dead nor alive, caught on the borderline.
"...One must admit that the prospects are not just gloomy, they're terrible, catastrophic, more dangerous by far than anything even the wildest imagination could dream up."
And slowly it sinks in that before long it's not only the undertakers and gravediggers who are out of jobs; not only religion that becomes obsolete as its greatest reward - resurrection - is no longer a big deal (seriously, Saramago's distaste for religion is very prominently underscored and explained in this book); not only the philosophical schools left pointless and speechless; it's generations and generations in "this society torn between the hope of living forever and the fear of never dying" who will have to dedicate themselves to caring for the millions of not-quite-dead; it's the country unprepared to care for the citizens who are no longer free to enjoy the certainty of death.

Life itself has quickly become the burden - oh how the tables have turned!
"If we don鈥檛 start dying again, we have no future."


And all of this is delivered in Saramago's unique rambling narration, with margin-to-margin solid text uninterrupted even by dialogue marks, jumping from topic to topic, zeroing on details and mundane, running in the clustered run-on sentences. It's all delivered in the voice that is both dry and witty, detached yet flourishing, both mocking and serious. It's not an easy style to read, especially in this book, with meandering narration only underscoring the absence of easily definable plot, the absence of characters who we can follow and love and root for.

It's like an introduction, a leisurely essay stretching for 64% of the book - the story that somehow, despite (or maybe because of!) all this kept the magical charm over me, grounding the most improbable of the storyline in the firm reality anchored by human folly and bureaucracy and greed and crime and incredulity.

And then, almost two-thirds into the story, the mood shifts, the narration abruptly changes, and the new plot emerges, folding violet letters into violet envelopes, confidently raising its head and wondering, Have you missed me? I came to steal your heart. And the strangest love story begins, having nudged the meandering weary satirical narration out of the way.

It's death, the female noun in so many languages, whose whim led to such perturbances in the function of the state and religion and philosophy. It's death, who is surprised at the audacity of a mediocre unremarkable middle-aged musician who refuses to die. It's death, a stranger to failure, who sets out to investigate and to set the matters right, unprepared for what is waiting for her.


"Due to some strange optical phenomenon, real or virtual, death seems much smaller now, as if her bones had shrunk, or perhaps she was always like that, and it's our eyes, wide with fear, that make her look like a giant. Poor death. It makes us feel like going over and putting a hand on her hard shoulder and whispering a few words of sympathy in her ear, or, rather, in the place where her ear once was, underneath the parietal."
It's where Saramago's prose, his entire narration undergoes a fascinating transformation. No, his style does not change. We still have solid blocks of text and meandering ramblings and endless strangely punctuated sentences, but the slow shift in the mood and the feeling subtly creeps up making you look up from the book and wonder - am I still reading the same story? And why do I have those pesky tears glistening in the corners of my eyes? And why can't I stop myself from sighing and quietly saying, "Aww...." at the end?

You know why? Because the guy who wrote this book has received a Nobel Prize in literature for a reason. Because he is brilliant, that's why. And because he decided to play around with this story, leaving us - or at least me - unable to resist its pull. And so I stand by my 5-star rating from a year ago, and begin a desperate hunt for more Saramago books.
"For the first time in her life, death knew what it felt like to have a dog on her lap."

's imagination appeals to me: I cherished from the first page. It's was not only the author鈥檚 incredible creativity or his masterful writing but also the fact that here he deals with something so close to all human beings: death. Who, after all, at some point in life, hasn't asked why do we have to die? The dream of immortality has fascinated humanity forever.
"The following day, no one died."
So simplySaramago begins: in an undisclosed small European country, without any logic or harbinger, people suddenly stopped dying.
"Having lived, until those days of confusion, in what they had imagined to be the best of all possible and probable worlds, they were discovering, with delight, that the best, the absolute best, was happening right now, right there, at the door of their house, a unique and marvelous life without the daily fear of parca鈥檚 creaking scissors, immortality in the land that gave us our being, safe from any metaphysical awkwardnesses and free to everyone, with no sealed orders to open at the hour of our death, announcing at that crossroads where dear companions in this vale of tears known as earth were forced to part and set off for their different destinations in the next world, you to paradise, you to purgatory, you down to hell."
A dream come through, correct?

But nothing is for free on this earth of ours, and very soon the exultation starts to die down. As the days goes by what we discover in Saramago鈥檚 fascinating story is ultimately thousands of people suspended on the edge of dying. Slowly the country finds itself disoriented for what to do, immersed in a new confusion. People lose jobs (no more jobs for undertakers or gravediggers, and so many others that depended on it). Religion has lost its reason and its greatest reward, resurrection. And philosophers are left speechless facing the fact of a 鈥渟ociety torn between the hope of living forever and the fear of never dying.鈥�

How everything seems to have turned upside down: life is now the inconvenience: "If we don鈥檛 start dying again, we have no future." Apart from any judgment on Saramago's religious feelings that probably dwell underneath his novel or any religion discussion, his unique narration is so superbly delivered that it conquers the reader. And he is always amazing us:
"Due to some strange optical phenomenon, real or virtual, death seems much smaller now as if her bones had shrunk, or perhaps she was always like that, and it's our eyes, wide with fear, that make her look like a giant. Poor death. It makes us feel like going over and putting a hand on her hard shoulder and whispering a few words of sympathy in her ear, or, rather, in the place where her ear once was, underneath the parietal."
Saramago simply captivates the reader. Read it if you enjoy something that will leave you with much more than with what you started before opening one of his books. As his literature Nobel Prize attests, he knows how to write. He is brilliant, and you won鈥檛 forget him after the first taste.

Out of the half dozen Saramago novels I have read, this is actually my favorite. It may have been due in part that I devoured most of it while seated upon the sun soaked banks of a river this past July, but this short little work really struck me. It is so unique and imaginative and this book was just a really fun read. Despite it's focus of death and all, it isn't quite as heavy as most of his novels and will make you laugh at the dark abyss of death as most of this novel is actually darkly humorous. There is no traditional plot for the first two thirds of the novel as Saramago displays his story with a broad shot that encompasses all facets of his deathless phenomenon.

The first part of the novel is more or less Saramago's imagination exploring all sides of his idea. Saramago takes something most people would view as a great joy - to live forever - and puts it on an ugly display as a terrifying curse. Namely, just because you live forever doesn't mean you don't suffer bodily harm. He tells of people with their guts spilled out somehow living on and other horrific conditions to a similar effect. He goes on to explain how this also practically ruins the economy and brings about the maphia (who choose this with a 'ph' to separate themselves from the regular mafia) who create more undying corpses if you don't bow to their wishes. Wow. What a disaster of a world is made in the first 100 pages.

In the second section of the novel, Saramago zooms in and shows this event on a small scale; his major focus is on death herself and how she relates to the world. Saramago's death character was fascinating and different than any traditional image of death (speaking of tradition death, there is a funny bit where the government takes all the traditional images of death and uses technology to see what these skull images would look like with a human face) and he actually manages to make death a likeable, empathizable character. I won't go into the plot and spoil what happens in case you have not yet read this, but I never thought I'd read a book about Death as a main character and describe it as 'cute' and like it for that. Saramago once again does the impossible and all I can say is that after the last page you can't help but say "aww".

As a note of caution, Saramago has a unique style that tends to turn people away and this slightly bothers me. It is NOT difficult to read, give it a few pages and I promise you will grasp it. It flows surprisingly well. Also, Saramago has a very distinct voice that I can't get enough of. He speaks directly to you as a reader and he talks at his characters in a very fatherly, loving fashion that lets you see how proud he is of his own creations. He has a very good way of telling a story, often justifying his reasons for why he chose to tell it the way he does in a funny, unique manner. I would highly recommend this to any Saramago fan, and to anyone new to this Nobel laureate's works although I think Blindness might be a better starting point.

鈥淣uestra salvaci贸n es la muerte, pero no esta." Franz Kafka

Debo reconocer que ciertos escritores merecen el Premio Nobel que ganaron precisamente por cada palabra que escribieron, y este es el caso de Jos茅 Saramago.
Me alcanz贸 con leer s贸lo dos de sus novelas, y m谩s all谩 de su peculiar estilo narrativo, sin guionar o al menos encomillar los di谩logos que hacen que uno se agobie un poco con la lectura del texto que tiene enfrente, difieren de cualquier otro autor.
Dejado este detalle aparte, lo que m谩s puedo resaltar de Saramago es su originalidad inigualable a la hora de elegir la tem谩tica o el argumento de sus novelas. Que todo el mundo se quede ciego con la excepci贸n de una sola mujer, que un hombre que trabaja en un registro de las personas se obsesione con una en com煤n o como en este caso suceda que en un pa铆s la muerte deje de ejercer su hist贸rico permitiendo que la gente siga viva es realmente de destacar.
Celebro la inventiva y la genialidad de Saramago y con cada novela que leo lo voy admirando cada vez con m谩s fuerza.
Ya en "Las intermitencias de la muerte" nos encontramos desde el principio con la noticia de que los que ten铆an que dejar este mundo no lo hicieron. Todo qued贸 en suspenso y la muerte se tom贸 vacaciones, desaparici贸n o vaya uno a saber qu茅 le pas贸 por la cabeza (y la de su guada帽a), pero el hecho es que realmente la gente ahora no se muere.
Al principio todo parece genial. Imaginemos esto solo por un momento, especialmente aquellos (como yo) que le tienen cierto temor a la muerte y les gustar铆a vivir m谩s a帽os que Matusal茅n. Suena genial, 驴no? Bueno... parece que no lo es tanto.
Lentamente y con el correr de las p谩ginas, el autor comienza a mostrarnos que no todo es color de rosa, que surgen problemas inesperados, que los que quieren morirse no pueden y los que no quieren morirse y viven en los pa铆ses lim铆trofes quieren meterse ilegalmente para no morir y vivir por siempre.
Hay un desconcierto generalizado y una falsa alegr铆a que terminar谩 enfrentando a la poblaci贸n de alguna manera. El supuesto beneficio de "no morir" que la muerte le otorga a los ciudadanos de este pa铆s me hizo recordar a la novela "El hombre invisible" de H. G. Wells puntualmente porque esa otra novela Wells nos cuenta que no es tan divertido ser invisible: el personaje de Griffin es invisible, pero est谩 desnudo, sufre fr铆o, tiene hambre porque si come todos ver谩n el alimento en el aire, no puede dormir porque sus p谩rpados son invisibles, todo el mundo lo choca, no lo ve, no puede caminar m谩s porque sus pies est谩n lastimados y muchas otras circunstancias inesperadas se cruzan en su camino.
Lo que sucede aqu铆 tampoco es un don o un privilegio. En cierto modo termina transform谩ndose en un castigo.
Todo, especialmente a nivel institucional queda al borde del colapso.
El resultado es un final abierto de una originalidad que a pocos se les ocurrir铆a. La novela termina fant谩sticamente, entonces yo cierro el libro, me pongo de pie y aplaudo a Jos茅 Saramago.
Julio Cort谩zar dec铆a que no hay buena o mala literatura, sino temas bien o mal tratados en la literatura.
En el caso de esta novela, "Las intermitencias de la muerte", Saramago toma un tema tan trascendental para el ser humano como es el de la muerte o como lo son tambi茅n el amor, Dios o la vida y lo convierte en una novela casi perfecta.

A most fantastic story portrayed in a most realistic way. Death, described as a beautiful woman about thirty-six years old, comes to the city to confront the principle cellist of the national symphony orchestra, a man who just turned fifty. The man has a dog who鈥檚 thoughts are recorded, and death has a scythe who manages her office while she is away. Violet colored stationery mailed by death and the music from J.S. Bach鈥檚 Suite #6 in d Major for Unaccompied Cello, particularly the Prelude, also play major roles. You either love Saramago or you can鈥檛 stand him. I cried when I got to the end of this one.

Lethal But Not Morbid

A great theological/philosophical book of ideas about how human beings deal with death - as a concept as well as their own individual fate. Saramago knows what most of us know but don't know how to say. He knows how politicians and academics and policemen and peasants talk and what they mean when they talk, which is often the opposite of what they say. And his gentle irony accepts the fact that we all lie by inevitable omission every time we utter a sound. So death for example may be lethal but perhaps it is not morbid. Perhaps it too can be embraced in life.

I love the cover of this book, the cartoon woman in black, paused on the doorstep of someone's life, her symbolic scythe held aloft. A light switch features in the centre of the illustration as if she might jokingly dim the lights while she fulfills her task. We almost expect to see a grin on her face and the illustrator has kindly left her features blank so that we can fill in that smirk for ourselves. A perfect book cover for a satire about death.
I鈥檓 not so keen on the title however; Death At Intervals sounds odd to me. The original title was , and when the book was translated into English, there were two versions of the title, and . I prefer the second version but I鈥檇 have really liked a version that stuck closer to the Portuguese and used the lovely word 鈥榠ntermittences鈥�, a word which always make me think of those heart-stopping moments in life when we suddenly recall things that had previously been buried too deep to remember. I鈥檝e taken that idea from Proust, of course, who had many 'intermittences of the heart' moments so it鈥檚 interesting to note that Saramago mentions Proust in relation to the 'final' heart-stopping moment of life. Yes, Saramago鈥檚 narrator refers not once but three times to the woman in black whom Proust reported seeing in a corner of his room just before he died, so I imagine Proust鈥檚 dark figure must have been some sort of trigger for this humorous tale about a woman called death, even if it may not be the sole inspiration. In fact Saramago wrote this book in 2005 at a time when his own health was poor; he was eighty-three and suffering from leukaemia and there was a point around then when his own death was interrupted: he was pronounced dead but recovered and lived on until 2010. Two years before he died, he wrote in , The truth is, I feel myself alive, very much alive, whenever for one reason or other I have to talk about death. As we read we really appreciate the truth of that statement. It鈥檚 as if Saramago managed to access some memory about death that the rest of us have repressed. This allows him to treat death in an audaciously irreverent way, and we are fairly certain that he has a wide grin on his face as he spins out the narrative, aiming delightful darts at his favourite targets in the process; the Church is not spared, nor are politicians; royalty also comes in for some satire, as do many of society鈥檚 institutions. It is all so smoothly done that we can only stand back and admire the perfect blend of what is said with the way it is said.
No one writes quite like Saramago.

Jose Saramago鈥檚 Death with Interruptions is a fascinating study of death and its implications to humanity. The book can be separated into two parts, the first part is a study of conceptual death or more accurately the loss thereof, and how it would affect the lives of the mortal beings suddenly deemed immortal. Then about two-thirds into the book, death suddenly takes another entity, from a formerly conceptual standpoint we are gradually introduced to death personified. Death is a woman, a beautiful woman, who takes interest upon a lone mortal who evades her scythe.

Initially I found this rather tedious. With a macro narrative that detailed events of a nameless monarchial country, more interested in industries than people, it offered an interesting enough chronicle anchored on the premise that death evaded all the inhabitants of a single country at the impetus of a new year. With only a mild interest to sustain me, I ambled through the pages half-heartedly. But as it progressed death slowly gained, like it slurped away life from a gravely ailing elderly, qualities of a human being. The last third of the novel flashed by me. Death, I learned, is far more fascinating as a person than a concept. The part is dedicated to the portrayal of man鈥檚 only valid reason to want the end of death: love of another.

As a rather imaginative story dealing with a very familiar yet unwelcome theme, it manages to paint death in a fair and, ironically, impersonal light without being emotional or needlessly sentimental. It is even somewhat comical as it shows the ridiculousness of our species when we fear it one moment, but potentially long for it the moment it no longer plagues us. This book is filled with wisdom about death, life, our tendencies as mortal creatures. There are snippets, conversations, which surprised me with sly intelligence and wry wit. To some degree maybe the parts, the consonantia, as Aquinas would have put it, are better than the integritas, or the whole. Yes, the entirety of the novel does seem a bit fragmented, however its ability to penetrate an issue such as death and its spirited treatment of it deserves high praise.

Death is a part of life; death is a quality that makes us human, death is even an economic pillar. When taken away, as in this book, it poses doubts about life, questions humanity, trivializes love, destabilizes our economy, and mocks our fear of an integral aspect of our nature.

What is there to fear then? Perhaps it will leave an aftertaste?

New review:
I gave it another shot and finished after a long struggle. I still stand by my opinion.

----------------------------------------------------------

Old review:
This is one of the worst books I've ever read in my entire life. In fact, this is the first book I gave up on. What's sad is that the premise behind the book is brilliant and mind blowing, but it's just not flexible to be contained in 200 pages. The book might strike you as a short easy read, but it's definitely not. The punctuation is horrible, and the story kept dragging on and on and on...

The progression of the book was extremely weird, it feels quick and intense and interesting and full of story details in two or tree pages, and then it gets extremely dull with obvious details.

I liked the author's style of writing, and I think I would've accepted the horrible punctuation if the story was good enough. But it just didn't work with me.

It took me over three weeks to figure that life is just too short to read a book you don't like. That's why I'm giving up on this book.

Si tende spesso a considerare esclusivamente i lati positivi di un鈥檌potetica immortalit脿: poter usufruire dei piaceri della vita in eterno, un infinito approfondimento del mondo che ci circonda, riuscire ad affrontare con maggior distacco delusioni e tormenti.
Saramago ci porta a riflettere, non solo a livello filosofico ma anche a livello pratico, sugli effetti (tragici) che comporterebbe vivere per sempre.
Il tutto condito con un intreccio amoroso che tiene incollati alle pagine del libro. Mostrare la Morte non solo nella brutalit脿 del compito che 猫 chiamata a impiegare (compito che vuole dimostrare essere essenziale) ma anche nel suo lato 鈥渦mano鈥�, porta il lettore a legarsi, affezionarsi al personaggio.
Il giusto mix di romanticismo, ironia, suspense.
Tra i miei preferiti dell鈥檃utore.

LIFE

I do not know if life deserves to be loved deeply. I believe that love for ourselves makes us love it, especially if another life (someone we love) helps us find a different meaning for existence.

Apnea e Morte.
Immortalit脿 e Maphia.
Lettere viola e Donna.

Aria, questo 猫 il pensiero opprimente che cercavo durante la lettura. Una completa apnea nel flusso di parole che Saramago sciorina una dietro l'altra come un fiume impetuoso.
Sopporto poco i logorroici e questo non ha aiutato nel voto finale. I temi proposti, con poca velata ironia, sono tuttavia da dibattito accanito, tra il filosofico e il sociale. Un esperimento letterario in cui l'autore gioca con le parole e non favorisce il lettore.
L'uomo, sempre alla ricerca dell'immortalit脿, la ottiene, ma a che prezzo! Un dono che forse non 猫 come lo si sogna e non risolve i problemi ma li amplifica.
Classico esempio di idea e trama geniale ma con un'esposizione pesante.
Meno coinvolgente di "Cecit脿", sicuramente pi霉 spassoso, certamente pi霉 faticoso da leggere. Senza dubbio piacevole.

Una novela con mucho sentido del humor y un uso peculiar de los signos de puntuaci贸n.

En la primera parte hay una cr铆tica filos贸fico/social de los tres estamentos de la sociedad ante la situaci贸n que se plantea: la muerte ha decidido que en ese pa铆s la gente deje de morir; lo que al principio parec铆a una bicoca no tarda en presentar unas consecuencias muy serias.

La segunda parte es m谩s intimista y tiene un toque de ternura.

Saramago tiene una prosa rica y un estilo muy particular. Muy recomendable.
