Nothing; Doting; Blindess (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics) [Mass Market Paperback]

Henry Green (Author), Jeremy Treglown (Introduction)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 1995 | Series: Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics

Henry Green is a neglected master of 20th century literature who is ripe for rediscovery.

These three brilliant novels span 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 amid the ceaseless intergenerational tussle of innocence versus experience. Doting sets the middle-aged male infatuation with pretty girls against the comfortable affection of wives/old friends. In Blindness, a young man is blinded in a senseless accident but thereafter discovers new imaginative powers.
