Maggiori informazioni sul libro
A heartfelt and inspiring memoir and Deaf culture anthem by Nyle DiMarco, actor, producer, and cultural icon of the Deaf community. Nyle, born into a multi-generational Deaf family in Queens, New York, was part of a pair of Deaf twins. His journey began with a “failed” hearing test at the hospital, much to his parents' joy. In this moving memoir, Nyle shares both heartbreaking and humorous stories about navigating a world designed for hearing individuals. From a rough-and-tumble childhood in Queens with his loving Italian-American family to his current success, Nyle has always sought to push beyond limitations. As a college math major and athlete at Gallaudet University, he was drawn to acting and competed in reality shows, winning both America’s Next Top Model and Dancing with the Stars. This memoir serves not only as a personal narrative but also as a cultural anthem—a proud celebration of Deaf culture and a love letter to American Sign Language, his primary language. Through his experiences and those of his Deaf family members, Nyle provides insight into the Deaf experience. This work is intimate, suspenseful, hilarious, and eye-opening, celebrating the uniqueness and beauty of Deaf culture.
