Editorial Reviews:
Review:"THE DOUBLE hums with imaginative energy...[C]learly the work of a great writer...."
Kirkus, 09/01/2004
Review:"The wildly ramifying plot has an improvised air but proves to be tightly knit, constructed toward a stark dénouement. The tight construction floats, however, on a bubbling, uninhibited authorial voice of cheerful volatility....Saramago has the gift of gab. Our impression is of a writer, like Faulkner, so confident of his resources and ultimate destination that he can bring any improbability to life by hurling words at it."
John Updike, New Yorker, 09/17/2004

The Double. (ISBN: 0151010404 / 0-15-101040-4) Saramago, Jose;Costa, Margaret Jull Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Harcourt, Inc., Orlando, 2004. Softcover. Book Condition: New. Uncorrected Proof. 324 pages. Softcover. Brand new, uncorrected proof copy. FICTION. Tertuliano Maximo Afonso is a history teacher in a secondary school. He is divorced, involved in a rather one-sided relationship with a bank clerk, and he is depressed. To lift his depression, a colleague suggests he rent a certain video. Tertuliano watches the film and is unimpressed. During the night, noises in his apartment wake him. He goes into the living room to find that the VCR is replaying the video, and as he watches in astonishment he sees a man who looks exactly like him - or, more specifically, exactly like the man he was five years before, mustachioed and fuller in the face. He sleeps badly. Against his own better judgment, Tertuliano decides to pursue his double. As he establishes the man's identity, what begins as a whimsical story becomes a dark meditation on identity and, perhaps, on the crass assumption behind cloning-that we are merely our outward appearance rather than the sum of our experiences.
