Now that I’m (gratefully) no longer allowed to make further tweaks to the manuscript, I’m ready to formally holler into the digital abyss: My first book, The Country of the Blind: A Memoir at the End of Sight, is coming out this summer from @penguinpress!! “Thread emoji”
ALT An image of the book's cover, above the phrase "Coming July 25 / Penguin Press." The cover shows the book's title, subtitle and author--"The Country of the Blind / A Memoir at the End of Sight /Andrew Leland." It also depicts blind people of varying ages, abilities, and ethnicities, nearly all of them blind, holding either white canes or guide dogs in harnesses, going about their business in a chill happy aspect: some are carrying groceries, one has a baby strapped to her chest in a carrier. There's a blind skateboarder and a pair of rollerskaters. A white woman in a wheelchair reads a braille book in her lap, and a bearded Black man using a walker has a cane at his side.
