In the summer of 1983, just days before the birth of his first son, writer and theologian John Hull went blind. In order to make sense of the upheaval in his life, he began keeping a diary on audiocassette. Upon their publication in 1990, Oliver Sacks described the work as 'the most extraordinary, precise, deep and beautiful account of blindness I have ever read. It is to my mind a masterpiece.' With exclusive access to these original recordings, NOTES ON BLINDNESS encompasses dreams, memory and imaginative life, excavating the interior world of blindness. 　　译文(2): 1983年夏天，就在他第一个儿子出生前几天，作家兼神学家约翰 · 赫尔失明【资源囤-ZiYuanTun.Com】。为了弄清楚他生活中的剧变，他开始用录音带记日记。1990年出版时，奥利弗 · 萨克斯(Oliver Sacks)形容这部作品是“我读过的关于失明的最非凡、最精确、最深刻、最美丽的描述。”。在我看来，这是一部杰作。凭借对这些原始录音的独家访问，《失明笔记》涵盖了梦境、记忆和想象生活，挖掘了失明的内心世界。
