This is a well told autobiography/memoir written by a fascinating, brilliant, erudite, and gently humorous man who maintained a positive attitude and incredible work ethic in the face of his loss of sight as a young man.
I picked up this memoir because of the author's close association and lifelong friendship with one of my favorite artists, Art Garfunkel. I was not expecting to enjoy this charming read on its own merits, or be as impressed as I am by this intelligent and capable man's voice. He has an important story to tell and I felt improved for having read it.
In addition to the story itself, the book includes an introduction by Art Garfunkel as well as a foreword by Ruth Bader Ginsburg (!!!) and afterword by Margaret Atwood. From the first page to the last, this was a fascinating and worthwhile experience. Five stars.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
