Fiction | Horror
A city is hit by an epidemic of "white blindness" that
spares no one. Authorities confine the blind to an empty
mental hospital, but there the criminal element holds
everyone captive, stealing food rations and assaulting
women. There is one eyewitness to this nightmare who guides
seven strangers—among them a boy with no mother, a girl
with dark glasses, a dog of tears—through the barren
streets, and the procession becomes as uncanny as the
surroundings are harrowing. A magnificent parable of loss
and disorientation and a vivid evocation of the horrors of
the twentieth century, Blindness has swept the reading
public with its powerful portrayal of man's worst appetites
and weaknesses-and man's ultimately exhilarating spirit.
