José de Sousa Saramago, (born November 16, 1922) is a Nobel-laureate Portuguese writer, playwright and journalist. His works, some of which can be seen as allegories, commonly present subversive perspectives on historic events, emphasizing the human factor rather than the officially sanctioned story. Saramago was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1998. His is the kind of work that flourishes only under repressive regimes, like those he was born into and worked within for most of his life, work in which the truth is told in language and metaphor that the morons in jackboots can never quite understand. Or, at least arrest anyone for.
