TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - Caught in the chasm: Literary representation and suicide among people with impaired vision JO - British journal of visual impairment A1 - Bolt, Daniel SP - 117 EP - 121 VL - 23 IS - 3 N2 - Both fictional and factual discourses have situated visual impairment in a causal relationship with suicide. The article compares samples of these discourses in order to suggest that the fiction may have some bearing on the facts. This alternative explanation becomes all the more thought-provoking when it is considered that not only visual impairment but visual restoration has been posited as a cause of suicide.
