Résumé
A powerful memoir by one of America's most accomplished public servants and legal thinkers-who spent years denying and working around his blindness, before finally embracing it as an essential part of his identity. "Moving, thoughtful, and inspiring." -Bryan Stevenson, author of Just Mercy David Tatel has served nearly 30 years on America's second highest court, the United States Court of Appeals for the D.
C. Circuit, where many of our most crucial cases are resolved-or teed up for the Supreme Court. He has championed equal justice for his entire adult life; decided landmark environmental and voting cases; and embodied the ideal of what a great judge should be. Yet he has been blind for the past 50 of his 80-plus years. Initially, he depended upon aides to read texts to him, and more recently, a suite of hi-tech solutions has allowed him to listen to reams of documents at high speeds.
At first, he tried to hide his deteriorating vision, and for years, he denied that it had any impact on his career. Only recently, partly thanks to his first-ever guide dog, Vixen, has he come to fully accept his blindness and the role it's played in his personal and professional lives. His story of fighting for justice over many decades, with and without eyesight, is an inspiration to us all."This memoir of a judge of the country's second highest court, who has been without sight for decades, goes down like a cool drink on a hot day." -Scott Turow, #1 bestselling author of Suspect"Deeply moving and packed with wisdom." -Frank Bruni, New York Times
