"A Borgesian fable with a marvellous flavour all its own" (Phillip Hensher, Books of the Year Spectator)
"A comic and profound exploration of the self... A uniquely seductive writer" (Daily Telegraph)
"The Double is Saramago at his most practised and polished. It is philosophy and thriller rolled into one" (Independent)
"Indebted to Borges and with a nod to Auster, he manages to surpass both with the audacity and sheer erudition of his prose" (Catherine Taylor The Guardian)
