About this listen
Varley says that he has had more response to this story than anything he has ever written, that some readers have even told him it changed their lives. Listening to The Persistence of Vision, it is easy to understand why.

NoWhat did you like best about this story?
I have been a fan of John Varley for about 30 years, and love the depth and uniqueness of this story about one man's search for himself in a deaf/blind community.How did the narrator detract from the book?
It sounds like he was reading it a word at a time, rather than reading ahead. Very stiltedWas The Persistence of Vision worth the listening time?
YesBrilliant story, spoilt by the narrator
