an interesting memoir from a hearing person, but like always with topics like these I would’ve preferred to learn what I did (ex. oralism) from someone explicitly within the community

Great account of the Deaf community and culture surrounding the Lexington school for the Deaf. Though Cohen is not Deaf herself, her grandparents both were and her father was the administrator of the Lexington school for many years. Each chapter is a slice of past and current day Deaf life in and around Lexington. James's story particularly interesting and engaging. Ghetto raised, proud to be Deaf and heading for an educated life so different to that of his hearing friends and family, James is an example of the great good the Deaf community can do for underprivileged youth.

After the second time reading it, I decided to add it to my bookshelf collection! Short stories of deaf culture, each told from a unique perspective.
