Blindness (NYRB Classics)

Blindness (NYRB Classics)

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

Blindnessâ€”Henry Greenâ€™s first novel, begun while he was still at Eton and finished before he left universityâ€”is the story of John Haye, a young student with literary airs. It starts with an excerpt fromÂ his diary, brimming with excitement and affectation and curiosity about life andÂ 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 beginsÂ 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, JohnÂ will discover, can also be the source of vision.
