The Blind Man Game: A Memoir of Art, Activism and Adaptation

by Paul Boskind

Dr. Paul Boskind, a successful psychologist and LGBTQ+ advocate, thought he had everything under control. Diagnosed with a blinding retinal disorder at 21, he defied the odds, building a fulfilling life. But years earlier than expected, his vision began to fade.

The Blind Man Game is Paul's poignant journey of self-discovery as he navigates the emotional turmoil of losing his sight and sense of self. With his future uncertain, Paul must draw on his expertise and inner strength to confront grief, fear, and a world no longer designed for him.

This inspiring memoir is not just about losing sight; it's about finding resilience. As Paul adjusts to his new reality, he finds solace in his chosen family, the friends who become his lifeline. Through their love, Paul discovers new ways to experience the world, forging a path toward a future he never imagined, yet one that is equally fulfilling.

A testament to the power of both community and the strength we find within ourselves, The Blind Man Game reminds us that sight isn't everything—and that even in the darkest moments, we can discover a new way forward.
