The country of the blind : a memoir at the end of sight / Andrew Leland
Livre
Edited by Penguin Books - 2024
Andrew Leland is midway through life with retinitis pigmentosa. He grew up with full vision, but in his teen years his sight began to degrade from the outside in. Soon - though it's hard to know exactly when - he'll likely have no vision left. Leland embarks on a sweeping exploration of both the physical experience of blindness but also its language, politics, and customs. He negotiates changing relationships with his family and with himself as he moves from mainstream life to one with a disability. Part memoir, part historical and cultural investigation, this book represents Leland's determination not merely to survive this transition but to grow from it
