Barnes & NobleThe Beauty of Dusk- On Vision Lost and Found by Frank Bruni

From New York Times columnist and bestselling author Frank Bruni comes ,a book about vision loss that becomes testimony to human courage, a moving memoir that offers perspective, comfort, and hope, Booklist, starred review. One morning in late 2017, New York Times columnist Frank Bruni woke up with strangely blurred vision. He wondered at first if some goo or gunk had worked its way into his right eye. But this was no fleeting annoyance, no fixable inconvenience. Overnight, a rare stroke had cut off blood to one of his optic nerves, rendering him functionally blind in that eye-forever. And he soon learned from doctors that the same disorder could ravage his left eye, too. He could lose his sight altogether. In this, moving and inspiring, The Washington Post memoir, Bruni beautifully recounts his adjustment to this daunting reality, a medical and spiritual odyssey that involved not only reappraising his own priorities but also reaching out to, and gathering wisdom from, longtime friends and new acquaintances who had navigated their own traumas and afflictions. The result is a poignant, probing, and ultimately ,a positive message, a powerful reminder that with great vulnerability also comes great reward, Oprah Winfrey.
