Overlooked

Published in the early 20th century, 'Overlooked' by Maurice Baring follows a blind man at a summer resort who is encouraged by a friend to write a novel. As he interacts with the other guests, including a fellow novelist, he reflects on their lives and considers whether he has a story to tell or if he is merely a muse for someone else's creativity. The novel explores themes of inspiration, perception, and the nature of storytelling.
