The first victims of an inexplicable epidemic of blindness are confined to an abandoned insane asylum, which soon degenerates into a literary hell more horrifying than Dante's. Saramago's claustrophobia-inducing prose 鈥� eschewing periods, quotation marks, and all proper nouns in favor of sentences that run on for pages linked only by the occasional comma 鈥� engulfs you like a whirlpool and keeps you under for hours. Finishing the book is like finally coming up for air 鈥� sputtering, reeling, and thoroughly disoriented. But in the best possible way.
