Leland has retinitis pigmentosa, which means that although he grew up sighted, but as a teenager, he began losing his vision. At the time of the memoir, Leland's vision is described as though he is seeing through a narrow tube. Eventually, he will be completely blind. The memoir navigates Leland's journey of vision loss, as well as the language, politics, and customs surrounding it.
