What is the setting of Blindness by Jose Saramago?

The novel is written from a complex point of view that can perhaps best be described as the often-transparent fusion between the atypical first person, plural, and the traditional third-person points of view. The narrator is completely omniscient and frequently reveals the inner thoughts and feelings of characters as well as providing frequent and heavy foreshadowing of significant developments. The novel's atypical point of view joins numerous other bizarre or atypical aspects of construction and assists to make the novel a unique reading experience.
