Blindness

This stunning parable of loss and disorientation tells of a city hit by an epidemic of "white blindness" that spares no one. One eyewitness to this nightmare guides seven strangers - among them a boy with no mother, a girl with dark glasses, a dog of tears - through the empty, harrowing streets in an uncanny procession. From the 1998 recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature. 352p.
