Jim Knipfel is one amazing man - and a character. He takes you with him as he journeys back to his childhood when he first realizes he is going blind. His recall of the feelings he experienced is phenomenal. Such a sad story, yet he has the ability to make me laugh out loud at some of his antics and attempts at staying "normal". He is such a man against the world: not wanting to use a cane, loving his cap because it hid his eyes from people walking by, running into a pole and knocking his self out on a busy sidewalk, fighting his disability one day and attempting suicide the next. He goes from the brink of insanity & mental facilities to one of the most gifted writers I have ever experienced. Slackjaw is not just a read - it is an experience.
