In Blind Spot, readers follow Cole's inimitable artistic vision into the visual realm as he continues to refine the voice, eye, and intellectual obsessions that earned him such acclaim for Open City. Here, journey through more than 150 of Cole's full-color, original photos, each accompanied by his lyrical and evocative prose, forming a multimedia diary of years of near-constant travel: from a park in Berlin to a mountain range in Switzerland, a church exterior in Lagos to a parking lot in Brooklyn; landscapes, beautiful or quotidian, that inspire Cole's memories, fantasies, and introspections. Ships in Capri remind him of the work of writers from Homer to Edna OBrien; a hotel room in Wannsee brings back a disturbing dream about a friends death; a home in Tivoli evokes a transformative period of semi-blindness, after which "the photography changed. . . . The looking changed." As exquisitely wrought as the work of Anne Carson or Chris Marker, Blind Spot is a testament to the art of seeing by one of the most powerful and original voices in contemporary literature.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 770 Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 770 Cole Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 770 Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 770 Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 770 Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList
