Does /lit/ know of any decent literature written by blind people, especially people who were blind from birth?
>>

D'oh!

borges went blind and continued writing and lecturing from memory
>>
Didn't Milton have to dictate Paradise Lost because his eyesight gave out?
>>
I only know about authors who went blind later in life. Milton, Borges, Sabato, Joyce. If Homer existed, then he was a blind man too.
>>
>>9544497
Yeah, he did.
But by the time he was blind he had more than enough to clearly visualize what he was having written down the way normal people would

>>9544476
As in he is blind and writes books or he is a guy on youtube ... or looks like the pic in the OP
>>
Given the intense non-visual dreams and sensations blind people allegedly have that should impact their writing I would have expected there to be lots of well written prose and poetry outside Homer.
>>
>>9544472

Homer, Euler, Joyce, Thurber...

You could argue that we are all truly blind

>>9544477
Some theories about the historical Homer have suggested that he may not have been blind and may have been several people.
Is this a credible possibility or is it like the Shakespeare is a black female thing?
>>9544658
The latter 3 went blind as old men so likely didn't impact how they described things.
>>
>>9544472
The Autobiography of Helen Keller is very good. Oddly enough she uses a lot of imagery and descriptive terms that she couldn't possibly have seen, but being a reader she probably adapted a lot of the imagery she read into her own writing
>>
not blind from birth but

Milton wrote Samson Agonistes blind which deals with blindness directly and Borges wrote a bunch of shit Blind, part of his collection directly following The Aleph deals with this blindness
