The Country of the Blind: A Memoir at the End of Sight by Andrew Leland

challenging hopeful informative inspiring

A remarkable and superbly research book on blind culture.  Part memoir of Leland going through decades of slowly losing his sight, contrasted with multiple areas of research from politics, discrimination, tools for the blind, culture, etc.  (I did skip some- it was just too wordy at times)
I’m not the target audience- yet I’m happy I listened.  It’s enriching to learn so much that I didn’t know.  I think this is an important book for anyone blind or anyone with significant others who are.
