{"product_id":"deaf-lit-extravaganza-john-lee-clark-9780979881671","title":"Deaf Lit Extravaganza","description":"This celebration of short stories, poems, and essays gives us a glimpse into the Deaf signing community, something that literature by hearing authors featuring deaf characters has rarely done. Between these covers, a Deaf couple fights over their son's language use, an Australian woman joins the community as an adult, a Deaf woman's body is fished out a dumpster, and a British Deaf poet wants to keep \"zombies\"-hearing people-out. The range of perspectives is astonishing, including opposing views. In one story, a hearing journalist tells us about the infamous Milan congress of educators who banned sign language in 1880, while in another story, a Deaf woman tells us what it's like to have a hearing journalist interview her and her husband for a \"human interest\" story. Even in pieces that are about just one Deaf person, readers get a powerful sense of life in one of the most vibrant and least understood communities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Lee Clark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0979881676\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780979881671\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Handtype Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.52d","brand":"John Lee Clark","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988339982591,"sku":"9780979881671","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_158e6466-5290-44ef-8058-c4285499d891.jpg?v=1683293993","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/deaf-lit-extravaganza-john-lee-clark-9780979881671","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
