RE: Sanctuaries of Light in Lisbon, Portugal

It sure is.

I just looked him up, and his books sound really good!

it chronicles the efforts of a handicapped war veteran and his lover to flee their situation by using a flying machine powered by human will.

I love that idea. Is it so far fetched that human will could power flight? I've got to read something by him.

Sort:  

He was very unusual. He had a bit of a rambling style of writing that can get tiring (similar to Marquez), at times, but many of his books are well-worth the read! They make you think about so many small things you live, but never think of. Death with Interruptions is quite lovely, as is Blindness. :) Have a great weekend!

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll see if they carry his work at my local library. I love Marquez! Magical realism is my favorite genre. Many folks can't make that jump, but I can easily envision the magical as real. Maybe it is.

I hope it is. Otherwise life's pretty dull ;)
