Perversely, but perhaps appropriately, Aidan Higgins -- one of the few contemporary writers worthy of comparison with Beckett and Joyce, now celebrating his 85th year -- has chosen to wait until his sight has nearly left him to assemble this collection of visual treats. A commonplace book of anecdotes and cartoons -- the latter never before published, though familiar to all of Higgins's correspondents from the margins of his letters and postcards -- Blind Man's Bluff is a compendium of tart and comic insights into sight itself, as well as other varied indignities: personal, historical, and literary.
