Appalachian literature has no small share of silent or
non-discursive characters, though the reasons for their
wordlessness vary. Some are mute or pretend to be, some choose not
to speak or are silenced by grief, trauma or fear. Others mutter
monosyllabic responses, stutter, grunt and point, speak in tongues
or use idiosyncratic language such as twin-speak. They capture the
reader's attention by what they don't say. This collection of new
essays analyzes characters who are unable or unwilling to
communicate orally, whose lack of voice conveys physical, mental or
social hindrance.
