About this book

In José Saramago's Blindness an epidemic hits an entire city that causes everyone to become blind but what happened so suddenly is unknown. When the blind existentially shiver on, their anarchy charts a civilization's susceptibility to breakdown and ruin. Blindness is a haunting exploration of human nature, of isolation, and of struggle, a power commentary on the sad imperative of our humanness: vulnerability, then, and then solidarity.
