A review by melanie_reads
Manual of Painting and Calligraphy by José Saramago
3.0
It's possible that I read this book at just the right time. It's oddly experimental in style (not necessarily a strength in this case). I also think there's a LOT about the Portuguese history that I'm missing.
What grabbed me, absolutely grabbed me about this book, occurs very early on. What happens when you encounter someone whose contempt for you, you simply are unable to ignore. Why do you let this one man get you? And so you simply walk away.
