Jose Saramago is my favorite writer though his style can be off-putting to the novice. He writes not only the way my brain thinks but very similar to a lot of Central and South American writers. Like foreign writes, Saramago has a depth I seldom find in American authors and moral lesson to his novels. "The Double" is no exception. It raises many issues and makes one think about things that we take for granted; such as individuality. This is a great novel.
