Old favorite,

This review is from: The Blind Geometer/the New Atlantis (Tor Double Novel) (Paperback)
I think I first read this eons ago in one of the magazines, Asimov's most likely.
The story's fine, but bits have stuck with me, like when the blind boy learns the importance of the period, and keeping the columns of numbers straight (OK, I still haven't learned this for myself). And Beep-ball. One of the ways that our hero's heroics become believable. And at one stage I had gotten most of the music he listens to. Keith Jarrett's Koln Concert is still a favorite.

Blind Geometer excellent, but...,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Blind Geometer/the New Atlantis (Tor Double Novel) (Paperback)
I've read Kim Stanley Robinson's THE BLIND GEOMETER once before in a collection of short novellas by the author that I bought once while an exchange student in Germany (I was getting tired of reading Goethe and wanted to read something in my native English again for once). THE BLIND GEOMETER is EXCELLENT. But the rest of Kim Stanley Robinson's stories I found abysmally bad. I'm not sure if this book advertised here is the same one I read, however...I have yet to read any of his MARS books, though. Maybe he's gotten better.
