NOTES ON BLINDNESS: A JOURNEY THROUGH THE DARK (PB)

Days before the birth of his first son, writer and academic John M. Hull started to go blind. He would lose his sight entirely, unable to distinguish any sense of light or shadow. He sank into a deep depression and soon forgot what his wife and daughter looked like. Here, John reveals his profound sense of loss, his altered perceptions of time and space. He describes the horror of being faceless and, eventually, he finds a new way of experiencing the world.
