Résumé
Krieger, a sociologist and writer who is also losing her vision to a rare eye disease, goes bird watching in New Mexico, learns to use a white cane, revisits an old love, and returns to the summer camp of her… youth, while reflecting on the nature of blindness and sight. She explains that that while outer landscapes may change, the inner visions persist, giving meaning and jarring the senses with a very different picture from what appears before the eyes. Some descriptions of sex. 2005.
