Nothing, Doting, Blindness Summary

Nothing, Doting, Blindness by Henry Green

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY D. J. TAYLOR

These three brilliant novels span Henry Green's career as a novelist and display his unique talents as a writer. Nothing is a tale of the merry-go-round of love, marriage and infidelity, and the ceaseless tussle of innocence versus experience. Doting sets the middle-aged male infatuation for pretty girls against the comfortable affection of wives and old friends, delving into the complications of burgeoning affairs and boring marriages. In Blindness, Green's first novel, a young man is blinded in a senseless accident but thereafter discovers new imaginative powers.

Nothing, Doting, Blindness Reviews

The finest living English novelist -- W. H. Auden
Experimental in tone; spare and sensuous by turns, irradiated by stylistic fireworks... his novels are dazzling exercises in form -- D.J Taylor * Independent *
One cannot think of another modernist writer so neglected and yet so warmly humane * The Times *
Henry Green's novels are among the most dazzling, inventive and individual of the last century... his writing is wonderfully seductive - as oblique, suggestive and full of surprises as life itself * Daily Telegraph *
The most curious imagination in the English novel -- V.S. Pritchett
