Blind: A Memoir ReviewMr. Cipriani comes onto the literary scene with a powerful display of storytelling at its best. His palatable and magnetic writing style allows readers to follow him into a territory as unfamiliar to many of us as it once was for him. In presenting his shocking story in such a realistic, detailed way, he invites us into the world of the visually impaired with all its terrors, frustrations, victories, and enlightenment. Only good things can come from reading this memoir, as Mr. Cipriani entertains our imaginations while educating us on the lives of visually-impaired individuals who function in a world dominated by and designed for the sighted. Above all, his story inspires us to face the worst situations in life with humor, hope, and determination to bring out the beauty veiled in catastrophe. He is a true inspiration, and I look forward to his future publications.Blind: A Memoir Overview
Imagine if the most severe physical pain and sorrow in your life were inflicted by the people you trusted most. In the spring of 2007, Belo Cipriani was beaten and robbed of his sight at the hands of his childhood friends.

Blind: A Memoir chronicles the two years immediately following the assault. At the age of twenty-six, Belo found himself learning to walk, cook, and date in the dark. Armed with visual memory and his newly developed senses, Belo shows readers what the blind see. He narrates the recondite world of the blind, where microwaves, watches, and computers talk, and where guide dogs guard as well as lead.
