“I don't think we did go blind, I think we are blind.
Blind, but seeing. Blind people who can see, but do not see.”
José Saramago
Like all ignorant people, I used to tease José Saramago gratuitously. I had never read one of his books, and –ignorant– I did not like him. Until the day when a dear friend told me: "you have to read The Gospel According to Jesus Christ; There is a moment when the protagonist finds himself in a little boat, in the middle of the ocean, with God on one side and the Devil on the other."
That was all it took. I read it and fell in love. For his imagination, his unusual way of writing, for the sublime talent that justifiably awarded him the Nobel prize. Like all compulsive readers, I stockpile Saramago; to the point that I still have 13 of his books left to read.
What Will I Do With This Book? Saramago offers us three plays that deal with political aspects and their relationship with individual existence. Since we will have a runoff for the presidential election in Brazil, I thought it was opportune, although light years away from Saramago's writing, to talk about my first thriller/political satire, KKA.
Addicted as I was to Jo NesbØ, and deeply discouraged by the political situation in Brazil, I found it a cathartic process: to create a plot revolving around the irresponsibility of a government with COVID19, within the world scenario where a supranational agency, the KKA, an executive arm of the Bilderberg Club, dismantles a murderous plot, ranging from the president of the republic and his daughters, the most corrupt man in the country, the minister of the economy to super-powerful people like Jacques de Vastries, Bertrand Carnot, Stephen Franson, Welinda Bates, Li-Hua Yunfei.
The Brazilians? If you live in Brazil, you will unmistakenly identify them all...
