Six biographical essays explore the nature of blindness and attitudes toward it. Lusseyran's "I" refers to an inner light, or "radiance," that he discovered after losing his eyesight at age eight. Describes incarceration and survival in Buchenwald; suggests that "disabilities, losses, griefs, and failings" are gifts that can lead to joy. 1999.
