This novel by the Nobel Prize-winning author asks what happens when the grim reaper decides to stop reaping: “A novel to die for.”—The Washington Post
 
On the first day of the new year, no one dies. This of course causes consternation among politicians, religious leaders, morticians, and doctors. Among the general public, on the other hand, there is initially celebration—flags are hung out on balconies, people dance in the streets. They have achieved the great goal of humanity: eternal life.

Death with Interruptions by Jose Saramago,Margaret Jull Costa Book Review

Title: Satire at its best
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 26, 2022
Review: “The church has never been asked to explain anything, our specialty, along with ballistics, has always been the neutralization of the overly curious mind…“ (p.12)

“…does that mean you don’t believe in eternal life[?] We pretend we do….” (p29)

This book is social and political satire at its best. There are a few poignant moments, but most of the story alternates between dry humor and biting, laconic attacks on the powers that be (he’s especially rough on senior religious leaders). I enjoyed it, but the deep ideas hiding beneath the surface escaped me. I’ve no doubt they’re there.

I found it amusing that the author (translator?) uses the adjective “grave” seven times with no apparent self-consciousness (e.g. “a grave crisis”). I can’t help wondering if the pun works in the original Portuguese and if it was intentional.

Title: death, be not proud!
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 1, 2008
Review: Nobel Prize winner Jose Saramago's latest novel, in the tradition of three of my favorite writers known for impressive first lines, Albert Camus, Toni Morrison and Herman Melville, begins with the intriguing sentence: "The following day, no one died." This allegory for modern times takes place in an unnamed country, with characters, most of whom have no names and where even death, like the other characters, does not even merit an upper case "D" to begin her name. Yes, she is female, composed only of a skull and bones, although she can transform herself into a reasonably attractive woman, and never of course sleeps. With death's moratorium on death, some results are immediate and obvious. The cardinal of the catholic church is one of the first to be upset. With no death, there is no resurrection. And with no resurrection, there is no church. Funeral homes are faced with an economic melt-down since they can now only offer burials or cremations to dogs, cats, canaries and other animals since animals were not affected by this stay on death. Nursing homes and hospitals are overrun with patients who cannot die and cannot live.

Of course something has to happen to throw a monkey wrench into what appears to be eternal life as indeed it does although this is one of those novels where a review should not be a plot summary. (Actually no review should be just a plot summary.) Just let it be said that Saramago adroitly introduces into his narrative a mediocre cellist-- who has a fascinating encounter with death-- who admits that he is no rostropovich and whose favorite pastime is playing bach's suite number six for unaccompanied cello at night in his apartment. Surely nothing, as the brilliant film director Ingmar Bergman would agree, reminds us more of death than any one of bach's suites for unaccompanied cello. Additionally the author's messenger of death appears as a mailman-- who in this instance does not ring twice-- not a new device although an effective one. Joyce Carol Oates, who if there is any justice should win the Nobel Prize for Literature herself, sends death for Marilyn Monroe in her incomparable novel BLONDE as a messenger riding a bicycle. In this novel death wishes that she had used the death head moth, which has on the back of its thorax a pattern resembling a human skull, as her messenger, a chilling thought.

Mr. Saramago's humor is both subtle and wry. Death chides her partner-in-crime the sythe for being lazy because he often spends all his days leaning against a wall. Since she consists of only bones, death ordinarily would not be able to lick envelopes-- although she has all kinds of powers and can move through walls-- but she takes advantage of self-sealing envelopes for her mail-outs.

Literary critics have said that often winning the nobel prize dries up the creative juices of writers. While that case may be made for some authors, it does not hold true in this instance. DEATH WITH INTERRUPTIONS is a fantastic allegory that criticizes the church, the government and familes who are too selfish to care for sick and dying relatives. It is also a beautiful tribute to the power of love as the ending, which is as powerful as the first sentence, illustrates.

Mr. Saramago indeed writes like no other author.

Title: The epitome of black comedy, even if its not very funny.
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 10, 2012
Review: You know how sometimes you'll watch a movie that you think is supposed to be a comedy and even though it really isn't funny, you find yourself laughing at moments - like you are trying to WILL it into a comedy? That's what happened to me at first with Death with Interruptions.
I thought - oh a book about Death taking a holiday and all the repercussions that result from it - surely a funny story. Surely. So there I am - trying to make it a comedy when it's really not as funny as I had predicted. Nonetheless, Death with Interruptions is indeed the epitome of black comedy.
The idea in itself is humorous - mainly because it can never happen and we are all safe from it - that death does not occur and the people live on. Saramago takes a very serious and careful look at the logistics if this would occur. The funeral profession would become obsolete whereas the Skilled Nursing Facilities would boon due to folks checking in but never checking out. Imagine a nursing home the size of the Pentagon! And all of this explained to the reader through some very unusual discussions.
While I enjoyed the story and how the idea was approached, I did find Saramago's style of writing to be disconcerting - he runs the dialogues together, removing the familiar format of double quotations and identifiers. Instead, he separates them all by simple commas and identifies the speaker via the inline text, you find that you have to slow it down a notch and perhaps even re-read a section in order to orient yourself as to who is saying what. It's not too difficult and sometimes it can be refreshing to read an experimental method such as what Saramago is known for.
The story takes place in an unnamed country but for some reason, I kept picturing England, and starting at midnight of January one, death does not occur for the people. Those on the verge of death, linger on and those who are involved in horrendous accidents, somehow survive. The hospitals are overwhelmed as well as other health care facilities. The churches are at a loss as to how to work this into their message of resurrection. What now? So everyone is complaining, and nobody is dying. However it appears this enigma only affects this country - once you cross the border...well death is working just fine.
By now, you can probably tell that death is actually a character, a manifestation that is even given a gender - can you guess? Death comes as a female and she's surprisingly empathetic, for death that is.
Death's message is quite interesting - she's a likeable character after all. And arrangements are made to put things back in order with some minor adjustments, like maybe announcing the person's death (via a form letter) a week before it's occurrence. Not exactly the best option because now folks are freaking out in anticipation of the daily post!
So while you keep one eye out for the mailman, pick up Jose Saramago's Death with Interruptions and enjoy rumbling around the mind of death and question her reasons for experimenting with such a complex albeit frail species.

Title: Awesome Reading Level

Review: For someone who was getting back into reading books, I really loved the premise of the story, I will not spoil anything but it's an amazing read. Used it for a shcool paper and it's a good read for the middle-high school level.

Title: A funny, marvelous book
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 22, 2020
Review: Saramago is one of my favorite writers. I read Death with Interruptions a long time ago and decided to read it again. I'm glad I did. I'm used to his writing. He's not big on punctuation but if one can just go with it, it usually works okay. This book is funny. Death is not usually a funny subject but Saramago manages to pull it off. The basic plot is in the blurb. It's a kind of thought experiment which goes awry--to a good end. To the people who hate it--so be it. Saramago is not for everyone. His style is the thing; it's why he won the Nobel prize for literature.
