Review
In 1983, Hull, a university lecturer who had lived with sight problems from the age of 13, found that the dark discs he had fought for 36 years had finally overwhelmed his sight. The spiritual and emotional reactions to his vision loss form the basis of this poignant memoir, and the many questions he asks contribute to his eventual acceptance of his fate. A richly textured dream life adds to his exploration of the other world of blindness, and the understanding and meaning he finds coalesce into a powerful work. --Library Journal
This unsentimental memoir of the experiences of a newly blind person provides many insights about the quest for the unified life. --Publishers Weekly
The incisiveness of Hull's observation, the beauty of his language, make this book poetry; the depth of his reflection turns it into phenomenology or philosophy. --Oliver Sacks, neurologist and bestselling author (1933-2015)
