In desperation, I look up into mum's face. A small face a loving face
And the lights go out. Her face is the last image I will ever see in my lifetime.
Blind since the age of seven, Nick Gleeson has spent his life learning to 'see' without seeing.
Growing up in the working-class Melbourne suburb of Broadmeadows, Nick's young life was defined by touch and smell: learning the shape of each shoe so he knew left from right. Holding the huge, rough hand of his father. Smelling the well-worn vinyl in the family car. Gently feeling the smooth top and soft underbelly of a mushroom he has picked.
When Nick meets Peter Bishop, Creative Director of Varuna, the Writers' House many years later, he has led an amazing life of physical adventuring. He's scaled basecamp at Everest and the top of Kilimanjaro; he's been a Paralympic athlete, a marathon runner, a skydiver. And, most recently, he's been on an expedition to the Simpson Desert.
In a unique blend of memoir, conversation and insights into the writing process, together Peter and Nick have collaborated to share Nick's compelling life journey with its many challenges, loves and losses.
The Many Ways of Seeing is an inspiring true story about determination in the face of hardship, the importance of trust and friendship and the wonderful relationship between a mentor and writer.
