{"product_id":"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.","brand":"Handtype Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50008341315824,"sku":"9780979881671","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780979881671_p0.jpg?v=1784255449","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780979881671","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
