Deaf American Prose, 1980–2010 by Kristen Harmon, Jennifer L. Nelson
4.5
Deaf reader reviewing books with deaf characters.
This anthology includes 48 (mostly fiction) stories. Some stories are POV deaf or hearing, some are excerpts from larger stories, etc. There's a real variety. Some stories have triggering content, including use of the r-slur.
“Nympholepsy,” “Goodbye, My Valentine,” and “The Influence of the Spanish Inquisition on Colonial Europe” do not have explicitly deaf characters.
I have no complaints about portrayals of deaf characters. My personal favorites: "Whispering with Cranes" by Pamela Wright and "Dandelion" by Allison Polk.
