Pequenas memórias de Saramago no NYT
«Among Nobel laureates of recent vintage, only Mario Vargas Llosa, who won the prize in literature last year, has delivered as much pure pleasure as the Portuguese novelist José Saramago. Saramago’s best books read like hallucinatory thrillers. They’re warm to the touch; they practically palpitate in your hands. [...] The book in front of us today is among his final compositions, a slim memoir of his youth titled “Small Memories.” It will not take a place among his major works. In fact — sometimes you must come right out and say these things — it’s mostly a vague and distracted book, one that provides the sensation of gazing on a dim and foggy day through the wrong end of a telescope.» Excerto do texto de Dwight Garner no New York Times sobre Small Memories - A Memoir, tradução de Margaret Jull Costa de As Pequenas Memórias (Caminho, 2006).
