: I was disturbed to hear about Mr. Vance's blindness. Although I have read and enjoyed a great many of his books, I know very little about Jack Vance himself.
Very few people do; he's fairly quiet about his personal life.
: How did this come about? Is he now retired?
I think he has RP; a degenerative eye disease. He is not retired; he is busy working on a sequel to his new book PORTS OF CALL.
