Deaf reader reviewing books with deaf characters.
This is an anthology of stories, most of which contain a deaf character. I have no complaints, and why would I when all these stories are by deaf or hard of hearing authors?
Titles with explicitly deaf characters are:
“The Meaning, not the Words” by Kristen Ringman
“The Ear” by Willy Conley
“Family Dog” by Raymond Luczak
“The Vibrating Mouth” by John Lee Clark
“The Job” by Maverick Smith
“The Climax” by Tonya Maria Stremlau
“In the Haunted Darkness” by Michael R. Collins
“Spirit Box” by Kristen Harmon
“Understanding” Kelsey M. Young
“Online Dating” by Daniel Crosby
Other titles metaphorize deafness, such as “Hearing Aid” by David Langford and “Rui’s Story” by Bobby Cox and Joanne Yee.
I also enjoyed the stories with no deaf characters.
