Listen Later

In this episode of Library Talks,  Research scientist Joshua Miele joins Library Talks to discuss his memoir Connecting Dots: A Blind Life. He is joined by Andrew Leland, author of the memoir The Country of the Blind.

Joshua Miele’s story is one of one ordinary blind life with an indelible impact.
