Window on the Roof

"To die is to have existed and no longer exist," said José Saramago. He is dead and no longer exists, but as soon as The Window at the Roof was published in Portugal and Brazil, in the homelands of its native language, people passed the new book around and expressed their surprise that they read it with new enthusiasm. Saramago had published another book, a fresh and luminous book that penetrated our sensitivities and left us standing in amazement and admiration; And we understood, we finally understood, that this is a gift left behind by the author who definitely no longer exists but wants to continue sharing. The following sentence was repeated until I got tired of it: This book is a gem, how did Saramago have this wisdom at his age, how could he describe people so gracefully, flawlessly and without prolonging the narrative? How did he have the capacity to express ordinary and unimportant, yet universal situations, and to oppose outdated value judgments with such serene intensity?

On the Roof The Window is a novel written by José Saramago in the early period of his writing, but published after his death. As his wife Pilar del Rio said, The Window on the Roof is the entrance to Saramago and will be a discovery for every reader, as if death were completing a perfect circle. It's like it doesn't exist.
