Andrew Leland on THE COUNTRY OF THE BLIND
\u201cI feel like I could actually follow you through this journey and come out of it changed rather than abused by my ignorance.\u201d\xa0
The Country of the Blind by Andrew Leland blends memoir, history and culture in a study of the experience of blindness and how it effects both the individual and society as a whole. Leland joins us to talk about the connection between blindness and literacy, the language around disability, the long process he took to write this book and more with Miwa Messer, host of Poured Over.\xa0\xa0
This episode of Poured Over was produced and hosted by Miwa Messer and mixed by Harry Liang.\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\xa0
