The Country of the Blind by Andrew Leland

Andrew Leland, living with retinitis pigmentosa, navigates the uncertain transition from sightedness to blindness, knowing his vision will eventually fade completely. In The Country of the Blind, Leland blends memoir with cultural exploration as he examines the physical, emotional, and societal aspects of blindness. Through his evolving relationships with his wife, son, and sense of self, he embraces this new reality, seeking not just to adapt but to thrive. With warmth and curiosity, Leland offers an insightful, often humorous journey into the challenges and revelations that come with losing sight.
