In the Blink of an Eye by Stefana Sabin
A new look at the story of spectacles, through history, art and literature.
“Spectacles not only enhance our vision; they contribute to our understanding of realitySabin’s charming history-in-miniature reveals how history, culture, and politics have been shaped over centuries by paired discs of polished glass, and why, every once in a while, they inspire such unease, such contempt, and even, sometimes, fear.” -- Simon Ings, author of "The Eye: A Natural History" and "The Smoke"
Stefana Sabin has written for the Neue Zürcher Zeitung, edited several anthologies of contemporary prose and published biographies of Andy Warhol and Gertrude Stein, among others. She lives in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
