seeing by jose saramago

this is a companion piece to the portuguese nobel prize winner's earlier work "blindness." his sparse and simple approach to telling stories absolutely blind sides you with his complicated insight. this book is a political fable that tells the story of a country's election mishaps, and ensuing isolation. many have called saramago a modern day kafka. it would help to read "blindness" first, but not essential.
