In this novel, José Saramago, the 1998 Nobel laureate, writes again about the same unnamed country he used in his other well-known work, Blindness. Writing for The Guardian, Ursula K. Le Guin gave Saramago’s Seeing high praise, noting that, “He has written a novel that says more about the days we are living in than any book I have read. He writes with wit, with heartbreaking dignity, and with the simplicity of a great artist in full control of his art. Let us listen to a true elder of our people, a man of tears, a man of wisdom.”
