Urbana, IL: University of Illinois Press, 2000. Cloth boards lightly bumped at corners, very light soiling to front board. Jacket very lightly rubbed and bumped at corners and edges. Else fine. Part of the Creative Nonfiction series. "Lennard J. Davis grew up as the hearing child of deaf parents. In this candid, affecting, and often funny memoir, he recalls the joys and confusions of this special world, especially his complex and sometimes difficult relationships with his working-class Jewish immigrant parents." We don't comment on the content of books to much, however, we hope that by being in the Creative Nonfiction series that means most of this stuff is made up - if not a better title might be My Sense of Mal-adjustment...
