Eyeth: a novel for the deaf

Kelsey Young

4.9/5 (23288 ratings)

Description:Kelsey Young's science fiction novel Eyeth, to use Tom Humphries' phrase, is important for deaf literature because it exemplifies "culture talking" not the proof ("talking culture") of a monolithic culture apart from the mainstream but complex deaf life on its own terms. It also focuses on a wide range of deaf people involved in intra-deafcentric conflicts; deaf sub-groups include a range of communication preferences (speaking, cued speech, signing) as well as multiple physical differences (deaf-blind, cerebral palsy, wheelchair users) though not ethnic diversity. A critical introduction to the novel explains that science fiction allows the creation of a world that does not exist as a real physical place and allows exploration of intragroup issues that a mainstream context of oppression of all deaf people obscures. The introduction also relates a discussion of the countries on Eyeth to colonialism and post-colonialism theory to provide a framework to the reader for the subsequent analysis of how Eyeth uses but also subverts colonialist thinking through characters' actions. The novel itself is about a young man, Virgil G, training under the tutelage of the current Guardian of Eyeth, Shawn Wright, who ensures Eyeth doesn't stray from its original goals of being a deaf world.Source: Worldcat.orgWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
