Spears…Guns is the last novel by José Saramago, begun in the last years of his life but left unfinished when he died in 2010. Set in a World War II arms factory, it explores the moral dilemmas of the individual in the face of the war machine. The unfinished text, along with an essay by Roberto Saviano, was published in 2024. Saviano is a journalist and writer best known for his work on the mafia. His work is a reflection on the anti-war and moral conscience themes in Saramago’s work. Spears…Guns is a short but moving book that demonstrates the literary and moral sensibilities of Saramago, a writer who did not stop asking difficult questions about power and responsibility until the end of his life.
