Blindness

The What When Book List

Blindness by Jose Saramago, 1995

Read in March 1999

Another plague novel.  This one is about the suddenly appearing and quickly spreading disease of "white blindness" and the resulting disintegration of society by Nobel Prize for Literature winner Jose Saramago. This book was a very frightening and a realistically shocking revelation of inhumanity and loss but also of strength and endurance under unspeakable hardship.
