I first read "Blindness", which was thought provoking, although it seemed like more like "Plague" clone crossed with an exercise in Epistemology than a piece of original literature. Then I picked up "Baltasar and Blimunda". This was one of the most beautiful works of art I have ever read. Tragedy, mysticism, social commentary about Catholicism at the time in Portugal (and I imaging most other places), storytelling...it's all there.So, did this man write any other worthwhile books?
Thanks,
Follow Ups:
Try "O evangelho segundo Jesus Cristo" and "Levantado do Chão"Sorry I don't know the titles in english. These are the original titles.
For more great portuguese writers try António Lobo Antunes.
Thanks for the suggestions!I'm sure the first is "The Gospel According to Jesus Christ"...not sure about the second. I'll have to check out Amazon for something with the word chaos.

...you won´t be able to drop the book until you finish it. And you´ll be shocked, to say the least!Enjoy it. Regards
and have acquired some of his books, but haven't read him yet. My wife's reading All the Names right now.
