et à la nature, à la nécessité de se déplacer, d'utiliser des écrans tactiles, de traverser les rues, de reconnaître les gens ? Invité à donner des cours au Québec, l'historien Jacques Semelin nous propose un récit de voyage d'un genre nouveau. À la fois le sien, dans une ville dont il découvre tout, et le nôtre, dans la tête et le corps d'un non-voyant. Son écriture émouvante et souvent drôle entraîne le lecteur dans ce que Borges appelait une expérience sensuelle et esthétique.
