Author: Hull, John M.

Condition: New

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 Hulls observation, the beauty of his language, make this book poetry; the depth of his reflection turns it into phenomenology or philosophy.
