Eight years ago I purchased a book at Barnes and Noble called “Blindness” by Jose Saramago. I had never heard of the author but was convinced to indulge solely by the “staff recommends” notation scribbled on an index card. I was so moved by the ferocious intensity of the story that I proceeded to buy a stack of copies and give them away to family members and friends that I thought might appreciate the power of the book. Echoing the theme from one of my favorite childhood books “the day of the triffids” the notion of the complete breakdown of society is the ultimate horror. Clearly, end of the world scenarios make for extremely fascinating entertainment, (“The Children of Men” was my favorite movie last year) so I was thrilled to hear that “Blindness” is coming out as a major motion picture. Here is the Preview.
