Portugal is also a victim of what is called “ the gravity equation ,” namely that distance hurts the prospects for trade and in a manner which is strongly non-linear. Think about the map or failing that read Saramago’s The Stone Raft — Portugal is close to other eurozone countries and to some (relatively poor) parts of Africa, otherwise it is pretty far from most places.
3. Novelist : Jose Saramago. But I don't like them all. Blindness , The Year of the Death of Ricardo Reis , and The Double are the primary ones to read. Baltasar and Blimunda I should try again. The Stone Raft is good. Currently I am reading, and enjoying Antunes's Fado Alexandrino .
The Year of the Death of Ricardo Reis , by Jose Saramago
Here is one obituary . Of his works, I find Blindness the most compelling, Ricardo Reis the deepest and most lyrical, and The Double as the most fun and the easiest. Most of the others I do not like at all (if you've tried only the others I say try again), but those three I recommend very highly.

4. Jose Saramago, Death at Intervals (the other title is Death With Interruptions ). I snagged an advance copy from the UK; sadly he is past his vital powers.
