Saramago's Workshop explores the writer's work processes, observing "the personal and intimate plane of his work processes, the workshop where the writer invents himself" (Maria Inês Cordeiro, p. 3).

Starting from the library (as a collection and as a workspace), the writer's workshop is presented in its multiple stages and dimensions: "Entering the writer's workshop is a bold and delicate act, because in this way we access the privacy of what has been projected and noted, quickly drafted, amended and re-amended, read and reread, consulted and eventually abandoned, using instruments and writing procedures that leave traces." (Carlos Reis, p. 7).

This proposed reading of Saramago's work begins with a timeline, followed by an expository narrative that runs through three axes: "The writer's workshop and invention," "Saramago's work," and "Reception and consecration.".
