‘Unexpectedly and frequently funny… An enlightening and enjoyable read.’ - Vogue
Ryan Knighton’s irreverent memoir makes us discover our surroundings afresh, and reminds us that even the most ordinary things have extraordinary and precious qualities. We follow his journey from absolute denial – which lost Ryan his trousers, his girlfriend and, perhaps unsurprisingly, his driving licence – to acceptance of life without vision and reliance on a cane. Blending mordant wit with intense personal reflection, Cockeyed is the story of Ryan’s loss of sight.
