> This here, this apocalypse didn't rise above a Stephen King story. It's plot=driven, after all. And yes indeed Saramago has a style that is his and I have no doubt one could identify his prose in any prose line=up. I very much like the commas-not-fullstops and the run-on sentences. But that style was tacked on. Almost as if Stephen King had written it, then hired some smart cookie to cook it into something just a little more. Something a little more with a little more forward momentum, because it does have that. But the style floated over the stuff (story/substance/content/ however we name it), not penetrating it at all. And, to quote Ms Young, "Style is thinking" except that in the case of Blindness we get style without any thinking determined by it. Which is to say, the same thought could have been expressed in ordinary language because the thought is ordinary. And this is death to prose/fiction/art/however we name it.
