repulsed me grandiloquent expressions that occur when a major character dies, people will point to express their pain as if it were your grandmother or your cousin, as if it actually caused them distress and not just a pose for effect or a legitimate feeling of superficiality.
today the death of a great character causes me grief, but never talk to him if he spoke to me through his great books and writings, so his death caused me some uneasiness, especially the absence that left no written texts, reflections no longer make.
Saramago's death surprising is that one supposed that their presence would be permanent, in a way it is through his characters. Saramago writers give individual dimension of the human, beyond the large crowds in which everything is replicated by masters, is the mind of some human beings who manage to tell personal stories, local and intimate as our own, Saramago linked the Portuguese peasant simplicity of the thread of human narrative, hit the big stories like the New Testament with the intimate story of a person. He wrote that Saramago and his death today causes me some disquiet.
