"From New York Times columnist and bestsel ling author Frank Bruni comes a wise and moving memoir about aging\, affli ction\, and optimism after partially losing his eyesight. One morning in l ate 2017\, New York Times columnist Frank Bruni woke up with strangely blu rred vision. He wondered at first if some goo or gunk had worked its way i nto his right eye. But this was no fleeting annoyance\, no fixable inconve nience. Overnight\, a rare stroke had cut off blood to one \;of \; his optic nerves\, rendering him functionally blind in that eye--forever. And he soon learned from doctors that \;the \;same disorder could ravage his left eye\, too. He could lose his sight altogether. In \;Th e \;Beauty \;of \;Dusk\, Bruni hauntingly recounts his adjustm ent to this daunting reality\, a medical and spiritual odyssey that involv ed not only reappraising his own priorities but also reaching out to\, and gathering wisdom from\, longtime friends and new acquaintances who had na vigated their own traumas and afflictions. \;The \;result is a poi gnant\, probing\, and ultimately uplifting examination \;of \;the& nbsp\;limits that all \;of \;us inevitably encounter\, \;the&n bsp\;lenses through which we choose to evaluate them and \;the \;t ools we have for perseverance. Bruni's world blurred in one sense\, as he experienced his first real inklings that \;the \;day isn't forever and that light inexorably fades\, but sharpened in another. Confronting u nexpected hardship\, he felt more blessed than ever before. There was visi on lost. There was also vision found."
