Since adolescence, Andrew Leland has lived with a disease inexorably leading to total blindness. Caught in a terrifying limbo between light and darkness, the author does not despair, but explores the world that awaits him with apprehension and intense curiosity. Leland describes how his fading vision changes his sense of self and his relationships with his family. He views blindness not as a diagnosis or a physical disability, but rather explores the world as a rich, self-sufficient culture with its own history, language, politics, and customs.

"Country of the Blind" is a unique blend of memoir and historical and cultural investigation. Filled with warmth and humor, the book demonstrates the author's determination not only to survive this transition but also to find the light that blindness can provide.
