Product Description

This elegantly written book offers an unexpected and unprecedented account of blindness and sight. Legally blind since the age of eleven, Georgina Kleege draws on her experiences to offer a detailed testimony of visual impairment—both her own view of the world and the world’s view of the blind. “I hope to turn the reader’s gaze outward, to say not only ‘Here’s what I see’ but also ‘Here’s what you see,’ to show both what’s unique and what’s universal,” Kleege writes. Kleege describes the negative social status of the blind, analyses stereotypes of the blind that have been perpetuated by movies, and discusses how blindness has been portrayed in literature. She vividly conveys the visual experience of someone with severely impaired sight and explains what she can see and what she cannot (and how her inability to achieve eye contact—in a society that prizes that form of connection—has affected her). Finally she tells of the various ways she reads, and the freedom she felt when she stopped concealing her blindness and acquired skills, such as reading braille, as part of a new, blind identity. Without sentimentality or clichés, Kleege offers us the opportunity to imagine life without sight. The in-depth introduction to this critical edition redefines how we think about autobiography and disability. It explores blindness not as a limitation but as a unique experience, blending personal stories with cultural and theoretical ideas. The criticism section offers insightful essays exploring the intersection of disability and culture. Contributors include Beth A. Ferri, Georgina Kleege, David Gissen, and G. Thomas Couser, each highlighting personal narratives, theoretical frameworks, and reimagining disability beyond stereotypes .
