Description
As a child,Joshua James Ambersonwas diagnosed with pseudoxanthoma elasticum, a rare genetic condition that may eventually lead to sightlessness. In my own mild way, his book opens, I like to obsess, and what follows is a relentlessly curious series of detours through oft-ignored aspects of vision and vision loss. Deftly weaving together such disparate subjects as Bette Daviss career, the daily challenges of eye contact, and his own decade-long saga of periodic eye injections, Amberson digs deeply into the physical and existential consequences of living with such uncertainty.Staring Contestis wise, generous, andgiven the subject mattersurprisingly funny.
