Reader reviews for Blindness

From the publisher

Henry Green's first novel, and the book that began his career as a master of British modernism

Blindness--
Henry Green's first novel, begun while he was still at Eton and finished before he left university--is the story of John Haye, a young student with literary airs. It starts with an excerpt from his diary, brimming with excitement and affectation and curiosity about life and literature. Then a freak accident robs John of his sight, plunging him into despair. Forced to live with his high-handed, horsey stepmother in the country, John begins a weird dalliance with a girl named Joan, leading to a new determination. Blindness is the curse of youth and inexperience and love and ambition, but blindness, John will discover, can also be the source of vision.
