News Briefs - Jose Saramago and "Iberia"


One of my favorite writers is proposing something, well, quite outlandish. In fact, his proposal has enraged his compatriots and honestly I can't blame them. To note: Read Saramago's "Blindness." It'll change your world. Saramago also wants to change the world be proposing that Portugal and Spain combine countries to form one country, Iberia. Portugal would become an autonomous region in Spain. "I believe," the Portuguese Nobel Laureate says, "we'll end up as one integrated country."

Next? Canada being absorbed into the United States. I don't think so.

Anyway, read the article care of The Independent.
