Book Description

Oggetto quasi novel review by Jose Saramago

Nell'immaginario di José Saramago gli oggetti si distraggono spesso dalle loro funzioni di oggetti per assumere un'indipendenza pericolosa, come può esserlo la fantasia. In Sedia la protagonista principale è appunto la sedia occupata da una vittima senza nome che cade al rallentatore (ma non è difficile riconoscervi il dittatore portoghese António de Oliveira Salazar, poco eroicamente morto per una caduta dalla sedia su cui riposava). In Embargo il protagonista non è tanto l'impiegato che sta andando a lavorare in auto, ma l'auto stessa, sorta di macchina infernale che si ribella all'embargo sul petrolio voluto dagli arabi e porta alla morte il padrone conducente. Nei racconti di questo libro l'epidemia di indipendenza si diffonde, l'elemento fantastico ci restituisce un mondo forse meno funzionale, ma senz'altro piú corrispondente al vero. Lo si può attraversare come un nuovo territorio.
