Death with Interruptions

Maybe death is a good thing? Death with Interruptions

This book is definitely my favourite read so far in the semester, as this type of read and genre is right up my alley.

Saramago Death with Interruptions

Week 11 yay we’re almost done! For this week I read Death with Interruptions by Jose Saramago which I thoroughly enjoyed. I found this story really surprising and unexpected in a good way, truth be told I never really knew too much about the books that I chose to read I kinda picked based off […]

Death With Interruptions – Reflection

My first feeling about Death with Interruptions by Jose Saramago was disappointment. I felt a bit disappointed because I had high expectations for the book, but I did not enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Don’t get me wrong I enjoyed the book, but I did have some issues with it. My […]

What is Life without Death? (Death with Interruptions)

José Saramago’s “Death with Interruptions” has to be one of the most philosophical books I’ve ever read regarding the concept of death and its importance. Now the book was split into two sections: with the first part exploring all the potential political, social, and economical consequences in society should death take a temporary holiday – […]
