Publisher's Synopsis
Perversely, but perhaps appropriately, Aidan Higginsone of the few contemporary writers worthy of comparison with Beckett and Joyce, now celebrating his 85th year-has chosen to wait until his sight has nearly left him to assemble this collection of visual treats. A commonplace book of anecdotes and cartoonsthe latter never before published, though familiar to all of Higginss correspondents from the margins of his letters and postcardsBlind Mans Bluff is a compendium of tart and comic insights into sight itself, as well as other varied indignities: personal, historical, and literary.
