- Title
The Fiction of Blindness and Real Life: The Diary Portion of Henry Green’s Blindness (1926).
- Authors
Hentea, Marius
- Abstract
The article critiques the diary section of the book "Blindness," by Henry Green, interpreting it as a reflection on the author's own life. It addresses the common reading of the diary section as a means of establishing the protagonist's artistic abilities, and refutes this interpretation based on the amount of personal information contained in the diary section. It comments on errors in the book's chronology, speculations into Green's life, and reading the novel as an autobiography.
