{"product_id":"touching-the-rock-an-experience-of-blindness","title":"Touching The Rock: An Experience Of Blindness","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.   '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.' \u0026gt;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.' \u0026gt;Reynolds Price, American novelist (1933-2011)  Notes on Blindness, a feature film and virtual reality experience by Peter Middleton \u0026amp; James Spinney based on John's original audio diaries. The project is an Archer's Mark Production in association with Fee Fie Foe Films and 104 Films in co-production with Agat Films \u0026amp; Cie\/Ex Nihilo. www.notesonblindness.co.uk ","brand":"John M.
