200 Pages and a Surprise

Stephen Elliott bio ↓  ·  June 23rd, 2009  ·  filed under books, Original Content

“In a quaint former working-class neighbourhood in Lisbon, a simple white two-storey house stands out from all the others, marked by a blue ceramic of a beautiful young woman on the facade.

Her name is Blimunda and she is the character of the novel that brought Portuguese Nobel Prize laureate, Jose Saramago, world fame in 1987.”
