Touching the Rock
Touching the Rock is a unique exploration of that distant, infinitely strange, ‘other world" of blindness. John Hull writes of odd sounds and echoes, of people without faces, of a curious new relationship between waking and dreaming, of a changed perception of nature and human personality. He reveals a world in which every human experience, eating and lovemaking, playing with children and buying drinks in the bar, is transformed. ‘The observation is minute, and it is also profound: everything is pondered, explored, to its limit – every experience turned this way and that until it yields its full harvest of meanings. The incisiveness of Hull"s observation, the beauty of his language, make this book poetry . . ." Oliver Sacks, from the foreword
