Linguistics and the blind

Recently I read a sci-fi book that got the college memories going. Click on the audio link in the post below to learn what book, what memories, and more.

Strangely, the John McWhorter book I recently read, THE POWER OF BABEL: A Natural History of Language, did not do this!  I enjoyed McWhorter and wish his book on African-American idiomatic English were (subjunctive mood) available in Braille or cassette from NLS or RFB&D.
