Media Reviews
"There's a literary world in this telling, with John Berryman, Edward Abbey and Archibald MacLeish, to name a few of Hoagland's mentors....But the best thing about memoir is Hoagland's struggle to hold onto his youthful Tolstoyan idealism as it shifts into a middle-aged idealism, a different but no less compelling animal." -- Susan Salter Reynolds
-- Los Angeles Times Book Review
"[A] very rich and interesting book. The reader will be drawn swiftly to Hoagland's wonderful memories of the circus....He is equally good on firefighting, the pleasures of country life in Vermont, and in the anecdotal portraits of his literary mentors (Macleish and Berryman, particularly) and what he learned from them about life and language....The pleasures of this book...are considerable. You will never see the blind again with the same eyes after you have read it." -- Bill Holm
-- Ruminator Review
"...Hoagland takes so many elegant and unexpected turns that I felt as if I'd been around the world with a very dear friend, and was reluctant to see the experience end." -- Alex Goulder
-- Bloomsbury Review

Publisher's Notes
A candid, literary memoir by the author of the critically acclaimed author of The Tugman's Passage describes his writing career, the growing blindness that transformed his life, causing an increasing dependence, isolation, and inertia, and the technology that restored his sight and the implications of that miracle in terms of his personal and professional worlds.
