John M. Hull

Days before the birth of his first son, writer and academic John Hull started to go blind. He would lose his sight entirely, plunged into darkness, unable to distinguish any sense of light or shadow. With astonishing lucidity of thought and no self-pity, he finds a new way of experiencing the world and of seeing the light despite the darkness.

John Hull provides a moving portrayal of the experience of being blind and gives a heightened awareness of the role of sight in our lives. Contains strong language.
