Bøker av Adam Pottle

A Deaf teen escapes his father's basement after years of imprisonment. Bloody, alone, and without language, he lands in a psychiatric facility, where another Deaf teen teaches him Sign Language and begins to mold him in his own image.

In this jarring collection, Adam Pottle cracks open the world of disability, illuminating it with an idiom that is both unsettling and exhilarating. His subjects are gritty and multifarious: drug related shootings; amputee sex swingers; tattooed Parkinsons patients; institutionalized adolescents coerced into sterilization.
