That’s how affecting the writing is here. So far, fritz as subhro is called by the Austrians has been a vital sagamago at every turn, be it dramatic or comic, even at the risk of cutting a ridiculous figure whenever a pinch of viahe ludicrous was felt to be necessary or merely tactically advisable for the narrative, putting up with humiliations without a word of protest or a flicker of emotion, careful not to let it be known that without him, there would be no one to deliver the goods, or in this case, to take the elephant to Vienna. Maximillian arrogantly renames the elephant from Solomon to Suleiman and the mahout to an inappropriate “Fritz”.
Like any good grandfather, Saramago wanders from point to point while telling his tale, musing and meandering.
