A Closed Book is a short novelbyGilbert Adair, published in 2000.
The book starts with a slightly awkward meeting between a crotchety blind author and a sighted interviewee he seeks to employ as his assistant.
The narrative is presented almost entirely through dialogue between the two men, punctuated by fragments of the writer's diary. As the two men's relationship develops it becomes clear that both have something to hide.
Afilm based on the novel was released in 2010 for which Adair adapted his novel into a script.[1]
