If you were captivated by the bleak, haunting atmosphere and the harrowing descent into chaos in Blindness, you'll find The Road deeply resonant. McCarthy's novel follows a father and son as they traverse a devastated landscape, grappling with the erosion of morality and the struggle for survival in a world stripped of order. The stark depiction of humanity at its limits will echo the raw emotional intensity you experienced with Saramago's characters.

If you appreciated the deep, unsettling questions about what it means to be human in Blindness, Never Let Me Go will haunt you in the best way. Ishiguro’s novel quietly probes the value of life, memory, and love through the lives of children at a mysterious boarding school, much as Saramago’s story compels you to reflect on society, compassion, and the fragility of civilization.

If you were fascinated by how quickly civility collapses and moral boundaries blur in Blindness, you'll be equally gripped by Lord of the Flies. Golding’s iconic novel follows a group of boys stranded on an island as their attempts at order spiral into violence and savagery, echoing the escalating chaos and moral ambiguity that made Saramago’s work so compelling.

If you were moved by Saramago’s exploration of fear, isolation, and human nature under duress, The Plague by Camus will draw you in with its profound psychological and existential insight. As a city is struck by a mysterious epidemic, the characters’ inner struggles and ethical choices mirror the turmoil faced by the blinded citizens, inviting you to reflect on resilience, community, and meaning amidst crisis.

If you valued the symbolic richness and allegorical critique in Blindness, The Handmaid’s Tale will satisfy your appetite for stories that layer meaning beneath the surface. Through Offred’s harrowing journey in a totalitarian society, Atwood crafts a narrative that, like Saramago’s, uses allegory to illuminate power, oppression, and resistance in a way that is both chilling and thought-provoking.
