MY SENSE OF SILENCE
By Lennard J. Davis
University of Illinois Press, 158 pages, $23.95
Author and professor Lennard Davis grew up as the hearing child of deaf parents. This memoir moves from Davis’ often-isolated childhood in the South Bronx to his adulthood as an English scholar and active member in Children of Deaf Adults. While he comes to better understand his childhood, Davis also admits to anxieties: When his children were born, he “spent a lot of time” shaking keys over their cribs to make sure they were not deaf.
