The Silent History by Matthew Derby, Eli Horowitz, Kevin Moffett
5.0
This book has much to say about language, consciousness, disability, neurodiversity, and mass hysteria, but it is also a page-turner that kept shifting in unexpected directions until the last pages.
One of the authors, Matthew Derby, came to present our literary organization in Nanuet, NY, and spoke movingly about his sister Margaret, a multiply-disabled child who could not speak and who died in early adulthood.
He also talked about the development of The Silent History as an iPhone app before it was a book. If they ever make it for Android, I'll be eager to explore the world of the book there, as well.
