4.0 out of 5 stars 22歳でオックスフォードに旅立つまでのメータ盲目の半生記Reviewed in Japan on 12 January 2013

ヴェード・メータ『顔つきあわせて』は
視力を病によって奪われた者の半生記として
非常に興味深い読み物だけれども
インドの風物詩・現代史への証言・アメリカの留学体験記としても
読者を退屈させることがない
さらにこの本が名著であるのは
視覚の優位を覆すメータの盲目の力
あるいはきわめて明らかな能力の欠如がもつ逆説的な力と豊かさを
十二分に伝えているからなのだろう
インドにおける公衆衛生を専門とする高級官僚を父にもち
細菌性の疾患で視覚を失うというメータの有徴性も
また何か感慨深い
