{"product_id":"hull-john-m-touching-the-rock-9780281077472","title":"Touching the Rock","description":"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. \n\u003cbr\u003e\n'The incisiveness of Hull's observation, the beauty of his language, make this book poetry; the depth of his reflection turns it into phenomenology or philosophy.'Oliver Sacks, neurologist and bestselling author (1933-2015) 'He lets us see with no trace of self-pity or self-praise how blindness has become for him a genuine acquisition, an unforeseeably rich gift that has made of him what so few of us are: excellent watchers and hearers of the world . . . triumphant in the teeth of ruin.'Reynolds Price, American novelist (1933-2011)\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes on Blindness, a feature film and virtual reality experience by Peter Middleton \u0026amp; James Spinney based on John's original audio diaries.
