About this listen

In this episode, we chat to M. Leona Godin, author of There Plant Eyes: A Personal and Cultural History of Blindness (Pantheon Books, 2021). We hear about her wild times growing up in San Francisco, becoming a scholar of Classics and early modern literature, and what inspired her to write about depictions of blindness through the ages, from Homer to Netflix.
