Blindness is my favorite book, but Saramago isn’t for everyone. Personally I love his writing style and think it’s incredibly fluid, but it doesn’t work for a lot of people.
I’d say if you haven’t gotten to the part where the asylum splits into 2 different groups then keep reading until that part. It starts picking up around there. But also if you aren’t finding the social commentary interesting then there might not be much for you.
I see Krasznahorkai, I upvote. I love all his books, but Seiobo There Below is such a beautiful and impactful work. It’s my favorite.
He also has a work being translated right now, so hopefully it’ll be released soon.
