The New York Public Library Podcast

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.   Throughout his life, Miele has found increasingly inventive ways to succeed in a world built for the sighted, and to help others to do the same. At first reluctant to even think of himself as blind, he eventually embraced his blindness and became a committed advocate for disability and accessibility. Connecting Dots delivers a captivating first-person perspective on blindness and disability as incisive as it is entertaining. Joshua Miele’s story is one of one ordinary blind life with an indelible impact.
