We didn't keep in touch after that summer we worked together (I was 14, remember?) but I can hardly believe our paths didn't cross. When he talks about losing his shoe at a concert in Vancouver, I'm thinking, "hey, I remember where I was when Lush played the Commodore!" And on and on it went. While for most people this is a "book about a blind guy", albeit a funny one, this was for me a life after Langley coming of age. Reading this was like a one-sided reunion. When I saw Cockeyed on the Canada Reads 2012 list, I thought, hey, is this that, Ryan? Well, it is! He and the owner teased me their fair share and I loved it. ![]() When Ryan Knighton was 18 and I was 14, we both worked at the same restaurant in Suburbia. ![]()
