Is there a novel with a blind protagonist written by a blind person?

That’s not true. Besides those already mentioned, James Joyce and James Thurber are two more modern authors who were blind

And Huxley. I didn’t know about Joyce. I just thought he was eccentric and wore funny glasses!

Jean Little is legally blind and has a guide dog. Her children’s novel, From Anna, features a legally blind main character.

Thanks.
So in the mainstream, adult author field,
Jorge Luis Borges
James Thurber
James Joyce
Aldous Huxley
were all blind?

Did they have protagonists who were bind?

He wasn’t completely blind. But he was certainly legally blind. He needed somebody to guide him when he was walking down the street, for example.

None that I’ve seen.
