Conrad Rudolph is professor of medieval art and chair of the art history department at the University of California, Riverside. This is his fourth book.
Born blind, the author was lovingly cared for in his childhood, but when he left school and encountered for the first time the problems of coping with life in a sighted world, he was understandably daunted. For a while it seemed that he might go under; but he recovered from his depression, argued his way into a job in radio, and is now a BBC correspondent with wide experience both in radio and television. Humorous and entirely devoid of self-pity, his autobiography is at once heartwarming and worrying, showing both the positive and negative side of our attitude to the disabled. (Kirkus UK)
