Status Updates From El Evangelio Según Jesucristo

wasn’t expecting this book to dive so heavy into the effects of patriarchy on Mary. whenever I read Cain, also by Jose Saramago, I looked at the Reddit page and there was a comic critiquing Saramago for his misogynistic description of his female characters. I think that that person just did not understand the ways in which he was making fun of the patriarchy, not upholding it? idk, maybe agree to disagree
