Knighton learns to drive while unseeing has his first significant relationship-with a deaf woman navigates the punk rock scene and men's washrooms learns to use a cane and tries to pass for seeing while teaching English to children in Korea. In this penetrating, nervy memoir, which ricochets between meditation and black comedy, Knighton tells the story of his fifteen-year descent into blindness while incidentally revealing the world of the sighted in all its phenomenal peculiarity. On his 18th birthday, Ryan Knighton was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), a congenital, progressive disease marked by night-blindness, tunnel vision and, eventually, total blindness.
