Description
Orlanda de Azevedo was Instituto Camões's Visiting Lecturer at UC Berkeley from 2006 to 2011.(José e Pilar). The Nobel Prize–winning Portuguese novelist and playwright José Saramago died in 2010, leaving behind a wealth of writings noted for their intelligence and style. José and Pilar, a portrait detailing the last years of his life, reveals the man behind the books. At its heart is the love story between Saramago and his Spanish wife, journalist Pilar del Río. Saramago muses, "I have ideas for novels and Pilar has ideas for life." Amid a whirlwind of public presentations, Saramago thankfully finds time to work on The Elephant’s Journey, allowing us a glimpse into his creative process.
