Saramago writes possibly the most beautiful but certainly the most precise and differentiated Portuguese prose of our time
Walter Haubrich, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
Saramago is a writer of formidable talent and extraordinary imagination
La Repubblica
To speak of the novels of José Saramago is to speak of the sheer pleasure of reading
O Diario, Lisbon
He was the equal of Philip Roth, Günter Grass, Thomas Pynchon and Don DeLillo. His genius was remarkably versatile - he was at once a great comic and a writer of shocking earnestness and grim poignancy
Harold Bloom
Saramago is a writer, like Faulkner, so confident of his resources and ultimate destination that he can bring any improbability to life
John Updike
No candidate for a Nobel Prize has a better claim to lasting recognition than this novelist
Edmund White
