Book Club: Seeing Voices by Oliver Sacks

​Our 37th book club meeting! We'll be discussing Seeing Voices by Oliver Sacks.

​“With Seeing Voices, Dr. Sacks launches on a journey into the world of the deaf, which he explores with the same passion and insight that have illuminated other human conditions for his readers everywhere.

​Seeing Voices begins with the history of deaf people in the United States, the often outrageous ways in which they have been seen and treated in the past, and their continuing struggle for acceptance in a hearing world. And it examines the amazing and beautiful visual language of the deaf–Sign–which has only in the past decade been recognized fully as a language–linguistically complete, rich, and as expressive as any spoken language."

​As always, don't worry if you haven't finished reading the book -- everyone is welcome! We'd love to see you and hear your thoughts. You can join in person at the store, or virtually on Zoom. For a Zoom link and/or to get on the Book Club email list, drop us a line at [email protected].
