It was more of a sigh, actually-a huge, tired, heartfelt sigh that made the man positively deflate in front of Gareth. Or perhaps there were merely two or three, and it just seemed like eight, because it was all so unexpected.įirst, the viscount exhaled, although that did seem to understate the case. And then, because the viscount did not say anything, because he didn’t even move, Gareth added, “Er, if she’ll have me.”Īnd then about eight things happened at once. “I would like to marry Hyacinth,” he said. He looked up, meeting the viscount’s dark eyes with steady purpose. He had vowed to do this right, and he would not be cowed. Hyacinth’s brother wasn’t going to make this easy on him. ![]()

His new novel, The Double, continues this echoing tradition. Whether a different version of Christ's Passion (The Gospel According to Jesus Christ) or another account of the universal scourge (Blindness), Saramago has found in these primordial narratives fodder for his own fictional world. José Saramago is obviously fond of rewriting old tales. It is one of the most complex, most retold, richest of our fables. The double has many names its mirroring quality is echoed in the Greek legends of Narcissus, of the Dioscuri, of the Androgyne. Made in our own image, the double can incarnate our evil acts (as in Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Grey and in Stevenson's Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde ), or kindly take our place in order to perform a seemingly impossible task (in Charles Nodier's "The Legend of Sister Beatrice" and in the magical "Chienniang", one of the many stories in the eighth-century Chinese collection T'aip'ing Kwangchi). ![]() ![]() ![]() Glennon now offers a new way of journaling, one that reveals how we can stop striving to meet others’ expectations-because when we finally learn that satisfying the world is impossible, we quit pleasing and start living.
