A Harmonious Echo

You've intuitively connected with Saramago's unique capacity, evident in both novels, to dissect societal structures and individual psychology when stripped bare, creating a shared, almost existential VIBE and an intensely focused CREATOR lens through which you perceive the fragility of civilization and the enduring, often harrowing, essence of humanity.
