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
Hull's observation, the beauty of his language, make this book
poetry; the depth of his reflection turns it into phenomenology or
philosophy.' Oliver Sacks, neurologist and bestselling author
(1933-2015) 'He lets us see with no trace of self-pity or
self-praise how blindness has become for him a genuine acquisition,
an unforeseeably rich gift that has made of him what so few of us
are: excellent watchers and hearers of the world . . . triumphant
in the teeth of ruin.' Reynolds Price, American novelist
(1933-2011) Notes on Blindness, a feature film and virtual reality
experience by Peter Middleton & James Spinney based on John's
original audio diaries. The project is an Archer's Mark Production
in association with Fee Fie Foe Films and 104 Films in
co-production with Agat Films & Cie/Ex Nihilo.
