Much has been written about the profoundly deaf, but the lives of
the nearly 30 million partially deaf people in the United States
today remain hidden. "Song without Words" tells the astonishing
story of a man who, at the age of thirty-four, discovered that he
had been deaf since childhood, yet somehow managed to navigate his
way through Andover, Yale, and Columbia Law School, and to
establish a prestigious international legal career.
Gerald Shea's witty and candid memoir of how he compensated for his
deafness--through sheer determination and an amazing ability to
translate the melody of vowels. His experience gives fascinating
new insight into the nature and significance of language, the
meaning of deafness, the fierce controversy between advocates of
signing and of oral education, and the longing for full
communication that unites us all.
