Great things about being blind. Finding interesting material for my one woman show.

KK have been doing a great deal of research for my one woman show. I am so grateful for the grant I received to create it from the Canada Council for the Arts.
I've been reading a great deal about blind characters in literature.
They are a sorry lot.
They are one of the following types:
whiny
evil and mean
saintly
possessed of miraculous powers
pathetic
totally self absorbed
not capable of having any normal relationships
sick
weak
overbearing.
I could go on and on.
It is sad and madening.
but, good fodder for my show.
