“She’s a liar. She’s a stalker. She’s in your house. When Claire sees Hannah Wilson at an exclusive Manhattan hair salon, it’s like a knife slicing through barely healed scars. It may have been ten years since Claire last saw Hannah, but she has thought of her every day, and not in a good way. So Claire does what anyone would do in her position–she stalks her. Hannah is now Mrs. Carter, living the charmed life that should have been Claire’s. It’s the life Claire used to have, before Hannah came along and took it all away from her. Back then, Claire was a happy teenager with porcelain skin and long, wavy blond hair. Now she’s an overweight, lazy drunk with hair the color of compost and skin to match. Which is why when Hannah advertises for a housekeeper, Claire is confident she can apply and not be recognized. And since she has time on her hands, revenge on her mind, and a talent for acting … Because what better way to seek retribution–and redress–than from within the beautiful Mrs. Hannah Carter’s own home? Except that it’s not just Claire who has secrets. Everyone in that house seems to have something to hide. And now, there’s no way out.”– Publisher Unrated. Commercial audiobook.

   I enjoyed listening to Neil Berman narrate this biography of how Kuusisto creatively interpreted the sounds he heard as he lived life to the fullest.

   Although I didn’t become blind until I was forty, several of Kuusisto’s journeys resonated with my experiences, too. He is certainly well-read and didn’t hesitate to quote and refer to a plethora of ancient and modern writers and poets.

   While Kuusisto is also well-traveled, I especially liked his description of his visit to Iceland.

This article has multiple issues.

Early lifeedit

Stephen Kuusisto was born in March 1955 in Exeter, New Hampshire, where he spent most of his childhood. His father worked as a professor of government at the University of New Hampshire and wanted to study the Cold War, so he moved his family to Helsinki, Finland, from 1958 to 1960. Later in 1963, his father took a job working for New York’s governor, Nelson Rockefeller, to improve the state’s university system, so the Kuusisto family moved to Albany, New York.[1] He was born three months premature, along with his identical twin brother, who died at one day old. Kuusisto’s blindness is a result of a condition called “retinopathy of pre-maturity,” where the eyes’ retinas do not fully develop in the third trimester of pregnancy. As a result, his retinas were permanently scarred, so he could only “see colors and torn geometries”.[1] There were numerous complications because of ROP: nystagmus, also known as, “darting eyes” when the eyes cannot focus, and strabismus or “crossed eyes.” At five years old, he underwent multiple eye surgeries to correct his crossed eyes. Kuusisto says that during this recovery “is when [he] learn[ed] to hear,” which influenced his 2006 memoir, Eavesdropping: A Memoir of Blindness and Listening.[2] Kuusisto also has a photographic memory.[2]

In rural New Hampshire in the 50s and 60s, he was categorized alongside World War II veterans, as he went unnoticed in society. Additionally, there was no information available during Kuusisto’s childhood and adolescence on how to raise blind children. Instead, Kuusisto was taught to “disavow [his blindness]” and attempt to “live like other children” through his kaleidoscope lens.[2] Kuusisto’s mother had to “fight with the local district to gain [him] admission to an ordinary first-grade classroom,” since it would be “another thirty years before people with disabilities are guaranteed their civil rights in the United States”.[2]

College and careeredit

Stephen Kuusisto graduated from Hobart and William Smith Colleges and the Iowa Writers’ Workshop and is also a Fulbright Scholar. He became a dual faculty member at the University of Iowa where he taught creative nonfiction in the English Department and also acted as a public humanities scholar at the university’s Carver Institute of Macular Degeneration. For years, he has acted as a speaker on education, diversity, public policy and disability. Kuusisto learned to read Braille at the age of thirty-nine and has produced, and continues to produce professional works of poetry and literature.[3][4]

In his writing career, Stephen wrote a memoir entitled Planet of the Blind (1998) which jump-started his career.

Kate’s 2¢: “The Good Life: A Novel” by Jay McInerney

“The Good Life: A Novel” by Jay McInerney

   Robertson Dean narrated this novel recounting the experience of two people who lost a loved one in theSeptember 1,2001 terrorist attacks.

A few take-aways:

–Now that his daughter had plunged into the choppy waters of adolescence, he found himself watching from the shore.

–We get used to any hardships through repetition.

–His spiritual resources never felt so important before.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

McInerney was born in 1955 in Hartford, Connecticut, the son of Marilyn Jean (Murphy) and John Barrett McInerney Sr., a corporate executive.[3] He graduated from Williams College in 1976. At Syracuse University, he earned a Master of Arts in English and studied writing with Raymond Carver.

Careeredit

After working as a fact-checker at The New Yorker, McInerney achieved fame with his first published novel, Bright Lights, Big City. Published in 1984, the novel was unique at the time for its depiction of cocaine culture in second-person narrative. The title is taken from a 1961 blues song by Jimmy Reed.[4][citation needed] The novel established McInerney’s reputation as part of a new generation of writers. Labelled the ‘literary brat pack’ in a 1987 article in the Village Voice, McInerney, Bret Easton Ellis and Tama Janowitz were presented as the new face of literature: young, iconoclastic and fresh.[a] Five novels followed: Ransom, Story of My Life, Brightness Falls, The Last of the Savages and Model Behavior.

After the success of Bright Lights, Big City, publishers started looking for similar works about young people in urban settings. Ellis’s Less than Zero, published in 1985, was promoted as following McInerney’s example. McInerney, Ellis and Janowitz were based in New York City and their lives there were the subject of heavy media coverage.

Ellis used McInerney’s character, Alison Poole (Story of My Life), in his novels American Psycho and Glamorama. McInerney revealed that the character of Alison Poole is based upon his former girlfriend, Rielle Hunter, then known as Lisa Druck. He described the character as “cocaine addled,” and “sexually voracious” but also treated her with some sympathy. McInerney’s roman à clef opened a prescient glimpse into the notorious horse murders scandal, which did not become known to the public until 1992, when Sports Illustrated magazine published a confession from the man who had murdered Lisa Druck’s horse at her father’s behest, in order to claim the insurance on its life.[5]

McInerney also has a cameo role in Ellis’s Lunar Park, attending the Halloween party Bret hosts at his house. It was later revealed that McInerney was not pleased with his representation in the novel.[6]

Throughout his career, McInerney has struggled against the image of himself as both the author and protagonist of Bright Lights, Big City. In 2009, he said in an interview, “Obviously, I’m no longer a 25-year-old bon vivant, but [that] gave me what I always wanted: the opportunity to be a full-time writer. It hasn’t been entirely fair to my other books, and I’ve had to deal with a lot of idiocy on the part of the critics and the cultural commentators.”[7] He appeared at Williams College as the commencement speaker for the Class of 2010.

Visiting the Memorial Art Gallery

By Kate Chamberlin

October 07, 2026

   Have you ever experienced the thrill of re-reading a great book, dining again in a special restaurant, or re-visiting a local museum?

   On this October morning, the crisp breeze seemed to gently push me along the sidewalk of the Memorial Art Gallery (Rochester, NY) as my guide dog guided me to the welcoming front entrance. I knew we were in the lobby when I heard the gentle burbling of the fountain in the sunken garden where I knew the “Alexander Calder untitled mobile”  hung.  I’ve been here numerous times, and I was anxious to meet up with my friends in the Webster Low-vision Support Group for a guided tour of especially chosen exhibits.

   Susan Dodge-Peters Daiss, Senior Associate of the Memorial Art Gallery with docents Lois Johnson, Mary Monefeldt, and Ann Marie Lagonegro  met us in the lobby. We wended our way to the elevator and the second-floor gallery displaying the large, oil painting on canvas depicting “Cleopatra captured by Roman soldiers after the death of Mark Antony”,1789. Twenty-seven-year-old Bernard Duvivier based this 45”x58”scene on Plutarch’s “on the Life of Atony”

   “Antony and Cleopatra” is a tragedy by William Shakespeare. The play  is believed to have been first performed around 1607.

   Once we were all seated, Susan read a description of the large painting she and Lisa Hoffman, a social/disability advocate, had scripted in 2017. As we heard the details of the scene Bernard Duvivier committed to canvas in *year, we were drawn into the action of the players, the emotion of horror, and the tension of the drama taking place.

   A lively discussion followed the narration and several people with low vision were allowed to go up close to examine the vibrant, jewel-tone colors, crackling varnish and details often missed when a painting is only observed from afar.

   In another gallery, we listened to a sensuous description of the white marble statue ”Love’s Mirror“ carved by Nicola Cantalamessa-patotti  in 1875.

   Then, Stacy Mayou  supplied us with latex gloves, enabling us to put our hands on the marble to feel the statue. A lot of work went into clearing the red tape so we could feel the marble.

   As a totally blind woman, I was enthralled.  I was in ecstasy.  I was in tangible heaven.  It was awesome to feel, once again, the power and sensuousness of the statue’s beauty; the Sculptor’s strength and skill in using his chisel, and the life and love the marble emoted.

   Moving on, Stacy Mayou provided stools for us to sit in a first-floor gallery to experience “Nydia, The Blind Flower Girl of Pompeii”. It had been modeled in 1855–56 and carved in 1858 by Randolph Rogers, an American artist, born in Waterloo, NY, 1825–1892.

   Susie read a description of this statue I’d written in 2024. Once again, my eyes teared up as I experienced the fear and panic this young, blind girl must have felt as she ran away from the falling ash.

   I’m still in awe that a chunk of pure white marble, carved centuries ago, could convey such a powerful emotion in me. I came away from our tour wanting to return next year.

   Thank you to Susie and all the staff who make these types of experiences available to our low-to-no-vision group. 

Cornucopia: “Mona’s Eyes” book review

“Mona’s Eyes”

By Thomas Schlesser

Translated by  Hildegard Sural (Serle)

Reviewed by Kate Chamberlin

   Can you name five of your most memorable books? “Mona’s Eyes” by Thomas Schlesser (translated from French by Hildegard Sural (Serle) is on my short list.

   When Susan Dodge-Peters Daiss, Senior Associate of the Memorial Art Gallery, Rochester, NY, recommended this book to me,  I immediately wondered if Mona’s journey with darkness was like mine.

   I was extremely moved by the intricately woven tapestry of this author’s compelling, second novel and American debut. In each chapter, we go with Mona through numerous medical procedures, traumas of dealing with her 5^th grade classmates, and personal issues of her parents. Throughout it all, Mona continues to wear the shell necklace her grandmother gave her when she told her to Forget the negative. Keep the light inside you forever.

   The second section of each chapter beautifully describes each master artwork. The details enable us to visualize what Mona, and her grandfather are observing  in contemplative silence.

   In the third part of each chapter, we are privy to the very wise and knowledgeable Grandfather’s explanation and history of the artist and the artwork. We witness how this precocious 10-year-old little child matures during the 52-weeks of absorbing beauty, to become a young girl.

   While her mother struggles with the overwhelming stereotypical fear of her child going blind and her father drowning the disillusion of his life, they entrust Mona into her grandfather’s care every Wednesday to take her to a child psychiatrist. Instead, Mona and Grandfather visit inspirational, thought-provoking artworks, spanning an enlightening journey across five centuries of Western art history, imbuing life’s many lessons, enabling Mona to eventually face her own issue of possibly being blind in the future.

   During the first 40-years of my life, I was a successful, sighted woman; then, in the subsequent decades as a successful, totally blind woman; so, I knew I’d be comfortable with whatever the final ending of “Mona’s Eyes” by Thomas Schlesser would be.

   I’d like to re-trace Mona’s steps to see the artworks she saw, but that isn’t possible. Instead, I’m going to read a chapter each night before bed, so I can fall asleep absorbing the wonders and lessons of Mona’s year and great art.

   I recommend this book for college art majors and adults world wide  with an interest in art and art history.

“A vampire who can’t remember his past and a witch with secrets of her own hit the road in this zany, cross-country romantic comedy. Reformed bad witch Grizelda “Zelda” Watson had hoped to never see another vampire again when she slipped away to sunny California for a fresh start. She’d grown tired of them and their nonsense ages ago. But when a vampire with amnesia unexpectedly shows up on her doorstep with a letter from her old friend Reggie and asks for her help, she can’t say no. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that Peter Elliott is tall and gorgeous, looks great in yoga shorts, and has the kind of dark hair and surly expression that for hundreds of years Zelda’s been a sucker for. Peter isn’t completely harmless — he is fanged, after all — but he’s harmless enough, and soon becomes the only person in Zelda’s new life who knows the truth about what she is. If she can help him decipher the cryptic notes in his journal, the only clues to his lost memories, she might as well try before sending him on his way. But when an alarming message from Peter’s past coincides with a clear sign that Zelda can’t keep running from her own, they embark on a cross-country road trip for answers — only to find what they’re looking for in each other.” — Provided by publisher.
