The term black swan itself has entered the common financial vernacular and is used to describe an outlier event entirely outside of the realm of predictable expectations, which has a disproportionate impact on future developments. As such, it’s more of a book on how NOT to invest rather than how to invest.

(Giveaway details at the end of the post) Blindness josé saramago6/27/2023 She, as the novel makes very clear, is the one who saves the day. Yet the ‘secret weapon’ that one group of ‘good’ internees have is a woman who surreptitiously joined them and who did not in fact lose her sight. Panicked, the government throws the affected into a disused asylum where gang warfare breaks out a la Lord of the Flies with one group of internees hoarding the food and holding the remaining internees to ransom first for their possessions and then for their women. The novel concerns ‘the white evil’ a highly contagious pandemic that causes people to go blind and see nothing but whiteness. Well yes apparently since with a mild expletive of amazement I discovered that the Donmar Warehouse were planning to transform the work into a sound installation. Indeed, early on in March I had found myself thinking of Saramago’s dystopian fable and thinking ‘Oh god, do I have to read it again?’. It may have been written 23 years ago, but few works bar possibly Camus’ The Plague seem more immediately relevant in a world of Covid-19 lockdown. Heard the one about the pandemic and about the bumbling, incompetent governments misguided reaction? Whatever one’s feelings about José Saramago’s dystopian nightmare Blindness, you have to acknowledge its staying power. Book cover of Blindness by Portuguese author José Saramago.

Veronika coelho6/26/2023 She feels powerless to change her life and feels that things will only get worse as she ages, so makes a relatively passionless decision to end her life in order to find “freedom.” As she waits for the pills to take hold, she reads an article asking, “Where is Slovenia?” (in a meta stroke, the article is stated as being written by Coelho) and decides to write a letter to the editor, justifying her suicide as a reaction to the article’s belittlement of her home country. Though she has a job, friends and family, she feels nothing but apathy toward her life and feels no great draw toward the kind of life that is expected of her. Veronika is a young librarian with a good life that she nonetheless finds unfulfilling. The novel takes place in Ljubljana, Slovenia, a few years after the break up of Yugoslavia. It follows the story of a 24-year-old woman’s attempted suicide and stay at a mental hospital. Veronika Decides to Die is a 1998 novel by Brazilian novelist Paulo Coelho.
