    An iconic novel from a rebellious and politically active author, this story follows Jack, a sculptor and blacksmith, who idolizes the Biblical Samson as a figure of man's independence. Deciding to carve a mahogany tribute to Samson, however, becomes a more complicated affair when Jack's wife leaves him for another man. The end result is a sculpture of a blinded Samson leaning on a young boy for support. As life imitates art, Jack is struck by lightning and left blind, forcing him to rely on his friends to survive. After leading him on a journey to discover just how reliant on humanity he really is, Jack's blindness ultimately drives him to his final act of independence: his own suicide.
