Description:
In the mid-1980s Edward Hoagland began to lose his sight -- his vital connection to a world he had so vividly recorded for thirty-five years in highly praised fiction, essays, and travel writing. With declining vision came growing dependence, isolation, and inertia. But technology caught up with his condition nine years ago, and his sight was restored.
Expand description
Hoagland was overwhelmed by gratitude -- and by everything he was now able to witness. Out of that jubilation has come this powerful memoir -- the story of a life that has embraced the contradictions and complexities of panoramic experience. Family and friends, wives and lovers, mentors and fellow writers, the myriad places Hoagland has been, the personal and professional struggles he has won and lost -- all are given their due in a life's reckoning that is shrewd in observation, generous in understanding, and rapturous in its acceptance and appreciation. A pithy mix of family history and personal insight, Compass Points transforms one man's story into an American saga.
