He wondered at first if some goo or gunk had worked its way into his right eye. But this was no fleeting annoyance, no fixable inconvenience. Overnight, a rare stroke had cut off blood to one of his optic nerves, rendering him functionally blind in that eye--forever. And he soon learned from doctors that the same disorder could ravage his left eye, too. He could lose his sight altogether. In \u003ci\u003eThe Beauty of Dusk\u003c\/i\u003e, Bruni hauntingly recounts his adjustment to this daunting reality, a medical and spiritual odyssey that involved not only reappraising his own priorities but also reaching out to, and gathering wisdom from, longtime friends and new acquaintances who had navigated their own traumas and afflictions. The result is a poignant, probing, and ultimately uplifting examination of the limits that all of us inevitably encounter, the lenses through which we choose to evaluate them and the tools we have for perseverance. Bruni's world blurred in one sense but sharpened in another. Confronting unexpected hardship, he felt more blessed than ever before. There was vision lost. There was also vision found. He experienced his first real inklings that the day isn't forever and that light inexorably fades. \u003ci\u003eThe Beauty of Dusk\u003c\/i\u003e shows readers how he found meaning in that--and how to approach aging and mortality with joy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank Bruni\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 179713714X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781797137148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster Audio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.60h x 5.80w x 1.10d","brand":"Frank Bruni","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44047231615231,"sku":"9781797137148","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_287cfcb6-5a87-4a77-9103-4ade54f59d99.jpg?v=1684989015","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-beauty-of-dusk-frank-bruni-9781797137148","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
