Description for Blind Man's Bluff (Irish Literature)
Paperback. Num Pages: 72 pages, black & white illustrations, frontispiece. BIC Classification: DN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 178 x 129 x 6. Weight in Grams: 88.
Perversely, but perhaps appropriately, Aidan Higgins--one 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 cartoons--the latter never before published, though familiar to all of Higgins's correspondents from the margins of his letters and postcards--"Blind Man's Bluff" is a compendium of tart and comic insights into sight itself, as well as other varied indignities: personal, historical, and literary.
