The point of the graphic novel is to be cinematic – that the artwork provides what non-dialogic prose does in novel-novels, NOT to be clever or create abstraction where there was none before.

I’ve been halfway through Saramago’s Blindness for like a year and am sharing some of the ambivalence you express about The Double. I can’t tell if it’s the translation or the prose itself, but it makes me feel overwhelmed. Like the relief of having finished it will be more enjoyable than reading it. But I still want to see what happens, so I keep coming back to it.
