We at CAA would like to join all literature lovers and José Saramago's admirers to mourn the death of this great Portuguese writer.
José Saramago is the only author writing in Portuguese to win the Nobel Prize for literature. He was awarded this prize in 1998.
Saramago was born in Azinhaga, near Lisbon, in 1922, but lived on Lanzarote, Canary Islands, from 1992 until his death in 2010 with his second wife, the journalist Pilar del Rio.
He is survived by his first wife,Ilda Reis, his daughter Violante, his second wife, Pilar del Rio and 2 grandchildren.
RIP Saramago.
