I enjoyed this book a lot! Reading about Andrew Leland’s experience as someone who is becoming blind but doesn’t feel as though he belongs in either the sighted or the blind world provided an interesting perspective. I definitely feel as though this is a book for sighted people, not for blind people, as it tackled a lot of internalized ableism and barriers for non-disabled people to viewing disabled people as people. I thought he tackled intersectionality well, though I think I’d like to read books by Black, disabled women to get that lived perspective. A solid entry into nonfiction about blindness!
