Just plain fascinating. A very quick read but truly a book that makes you "try" and think about what is being said by this author. Something so seemingly horrific in the past becomes an acceptable reality that is even rewarding in the present.
A quick hour long read. One reads such things because they want a glimpse into the mind and feelings of a person whose experienced a trauma.
I enjoyed the short paragraphs and flipping between the hospital and present day life.
The author has a philosphy of life the reader may not adhere to, but a good read none-the-less.

This memoir by Hugues de Montalembert was a quick, but thought provoking read. The author was blinded in an attack in NYC during the late 1970s, and he talks about his struggles, adjusting to his new way of life, and how he did not let his blindness stop him from doing what he wanted.

When Montalembert loses his eyesight due to violence it is as though everything has been taken away from him. Being an artistic individual it was the one sense he could not stand to lose. In this book, the ability to see through the eyes of a blind man becomes one of the most beautifully written memoirs I have read in quite some time.
Montalembert takes you on a journey, where he shows you what he sees regardless of his loss. It's hard to truly call him a blind man, when his world seems so extraordinarily vivid in comparison to our own. I truly enjoyed this book. It's a memoir that is truly memorable.
