Some books help to explain each other, and together elucidate something important in our lives. I recently came upon three of them. 1. In 1998, the Portuguese novelist José Saramago published a modern fairy tale called The Tale of the Unknown Island. I found it in the library of the house we are renting in San Miguel de Allende. In the tale, a man goes to a king and requests a boat so he can sail off to discover an unknown island. The king gives him a large boat, a caravel, but no crew. However, he is joined by the king’s cleaning woman, who decides she would rather die at sea than from a lifetime of scrubbing floors. The couple fit up the caravel, enlist a dubious crew, and set off with the boat’s deck covered with plants they intend to establish on their new-found island. But the crew deserts at the first port of call, and the couple are forced to lay at anchor, unable to manage the ship by themselves.
