Description
Death with Interruptions by José Saramago On the first day of the new year, a strange phenomenon occurs: no one dies. The initial reaction is one of celebration, with flags hung out on balconies and people dancing in the streets. However, as the reality of the situation sets in, the consequences become apparent. Families are left to care for the permanently dying, life-insurance policies become meaningless, and funeral parlors are reduced to arranging burials for pets. As the world struggles to come to terms with this new reality, Death begins to contemplate her experiment. What if she, Death, were to become human and fall in love? This thought prompts her to sit in her chilly apartment, surrounded by scythe and filing cabinets, and ponder the implications of a world without death.
