The Sight Eater

Brian Dale Babiak MD

Sinopsis

For Justyna Kowalski, who lost her sight as a child, the world is a map of sounds and textures. So when a freak accident allows her to see by consuming a human eye, she doesn't just embrace the miracle—she starts a spreadsheet. In a gritty, mutated Warsaw where the grotesque has become mundane, she rates each borrowed glimpse of the world for clarity, duration, and side effects, sourcing her supply from a semi-legal food truck called "Eye Scream."
Her quest for a more reliable specimen leads her not on a desperate hunt, but to a Consumers Anonymous support group. There she meets Tomasz, a gentle math teacher who is also a "Class 3 Renewable Resource," uncontrollably growing surplus eyes. What begins as the perfect symbiotic partnership—complete with labeled Tupperware and five-star quality ratings—soon becomes a deeply practical love story. Aided by her best friend Paulina, a human chaos agent, their life is a strange, tender, and darkly funny balance of body horror and domestic bliss.
But their carefully cataloged life is threatened by the Department of Genetic Anomalies—not a shadowy cabal, but an absurdly meticulous bureaucracy that demands compliance. Forced into a thirty-day abstinence challenge to prove their love isn't "exploitative," they must navigate their bond without the very act that defines it.
The Sight Eater is a hilarious and strangely moving novel about the mundane logistics of the monstrous, the comedy of state-sponsored paperwork, and a love that requires not just passion, but also excellent refrigeration and a very good rating system.
