I love Saramago since I read Blindness, ages ago, at the university. Although that novel is very differnt from the early ones, like The Stone Raft, The history of Siege of Lisbon, The Cave.. these have long, endless sentences, dialogs within the sentences, a narrator with quite subjective remarks on the happening and characters. I love his style and the archaic vocabulary of the early novels. I remember stopping while reading to take a breath, because one thought or phrase was so beautiful. Cain is a short novel, a summary of biblical stories,constantly arguing with God and questioning his judgments. It is not the best Saramago book, but i liked it.
