Edward Hoagland

In the Country of the Blind Edward Hoagland

Press is going blind. He has lost his job and his wife and is trying to figure out his next move, holed up in his Vermont cabin surrounded by a hippie commune, drug runners, farmers-gone-bust, bloodthirsty auctioneers, and general ne er-do-wells. Solace and purpose come from the unlikeliest sources as he learns to navigate his new landscape without sight."
