Reviews
'eoeThe book presents an intelligent twist on the blogs-turned-books phenomenon, proving that the two mediums are compatible beyond social curios and cultural gimmicks.... The Notebook is a unique glimpse into the candid ruminations of one of the most talented living writers.'e�, "The most gifted novelist alive in the world today."-Harold Bloom "Saramago is one of Europe's most original and remarkable writers ... His writing is imbued with a spirit of comic inquiry, meditative pessimism and a quietly transforming energy that turns the indefinite into the unforgettable."-Richard Eder, Los Angeles Times "Saramago is a writer, like Faulkner, so confident of his resources and ultimate destination that he can bring any improbability to life."-John Updike, New Yorker "In the craft of the sentence, Jose? Saramago is one of the great originals. His prose is a voice that envelops all voices: it is like the universe's immanent murmur ... No one writes quite like Saramago, so solicitous and yet so magnificently free."-Steven Poole, Guardian "I'm hard pressed to think of another writer who makes me stop as Saramago does, to go back and discover the meaning of history or allegory in all its wild newness."-Julian Evans, Financial Times "Fascinating and smart and provocative, and a lot of fun to dip into."- New York Times "The book presents an intelligent twist on the blogs-turned-books phenomenon, proving that the two mediums are compatible beyond social curios and cultural gimmicks ... The Notebook is a unique glimpse into the candid ruminations of one of the most talented living writers."- Flavorwire "Impenitently enraged and tender."-Umberto Eco "His blogs... reveal an often sharp, sometimes mischievous, engagement with the world."-Maya Jaggi, Guardian "A bittersweet delight."-Boyd Tonkin, Independent "The world is poorer without Saramago, but these notes are a testament to his energy."-Tom Payne, Daily Telegraph "Given that most blogs that make it to print seem to involve someone sharing too much information about their sex lives, there's something refreshing about Saramago taking the form to a more elevated plain, crafting apercus on all manner of subjects."- Metro "A provocative miscellany of occasional pieces."- Financial Times "Cogent, deft and brisk ... the deeper you delve, a broad, humane political philosophy begins to emerge."- Sunday Herald (Glasgow) "Saramago enjoys picking up a passing thought or an incident and running with it, confident in his political outrage, calm in his appreciation of friends, considered in his aphoristic criticism of culture."- Times "One of the fine things about The Notebook is that it prompts a reappraisal of Saramago's fiction ... One can admire the enormous risk Saramago has taken. Rather than place himself and his words above the collective shout, he let himself become a part of the roar, an equal standing and writing citizen. This is the gift he gives us in these blog essays."- Quarterly Conversation

Synopsis
A unique journey into the personal and political world of the Nobel laureate and author of Blindness ., Thought-provoking and lyrical, The Notebook records the last year in the life of Jos Saramago. In these pages, beginning on the eve of the 2008 US presidential election, he evokes life in his beloved city of Lisbon, revisits conversations with friends, and meditates on his favorite authors. Precise observations and moments of arresting significance are rendered with pointillist detail and together demonstrate an acute understanding of our times. Characteristically critical and uncompromising, Saramago dissects the financial crisis, deplores Israel's punishment of Gaza, and reflects on the rise of Barack Obama. The Notebook is a unique journey into the personal and political world of one of the greatest writers of our time., Thought-provoking and lyrical, The Notebook records the last year in the life of José Saramago.

- a***o (50)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseVery slow to arrive (well past the estimate), but came safely at last in minimalist packaging. Customer service was polite when contacted regarding delay and an initial lack of tracking details. After communicating with them, the tracking eventually began to provide updates but it was a long wait. The book was a different edition than pictured but it was in a “very good” condition as advertised; also it was fairly priced. Overall, I am satisfied except for the very long wait.

The product is in better condition than described, a true value for my money. Packaged and shipped well shows seller has concern for the products he sells to arrive in excellent condition.
