Listening
Listening is Hannah Merker's moving and evocative account of her passage into the world of deafness after a mid-life skiing accident. It is also her examination of the many ways people who cannot literally hear can "listen" and communicate. As Henry Kisor says in his foreword to this new edition, Merker "learned how to pay attention to the world both without and within her. Hers has been not so much a struggle to grasp the remnants of her hearing as it has been an intellectual adventure into the nature of sound." First published by Harper Collins in 1994.

Hannah
Hva ville du ha gjort om din første kjærlighet kom tilbake for å tilby deg alt du noensinne har drømt om? Denne sommeren har Hannah klart å få med seg ektemannen Cliff på å leie et hus utenfor Grasse ved den franske riviera sammen med søsteren Jill og hennes homofile venn Tristan. Det som skulle være to fine ferieuker tar imidlertid en uventet vending når et spøkelse fra fortiden melder sin ankomst. Nick Alexander (født i 1964) vokste opp noen mil øst for London i den lille kystbyen Margate i Kent. Det var med Hannah han fikk sitt store gjennombrudd, og med et salg på over 300 000 ble romanen Storbritannias mest solgte i året etter utgivelsen.
Quest for Silence
What ever happened to silence? Actually nothing, and Harry Wilmer takes great pains to show how we have submerged it under a toxic barrage of noise. Using both clinical examples of the power of silence from his case histories, and cultural values of silence, he uncovers a astonishing theme in the Japanese idea of MA as silence. Wilmer points out how silence gives meaning to words, dreams, thought, action and music. From his long experience as a Jungian analyst, he weaves his ideas into an eminently practical treatise on the phenomenology of silence. With many references to literature as well as his personal life experiences and crises, he offers a readable and important new story of the universal and spiritual significance of silence in a world of jackhammer noise.

Recovering Bodies
This is a provocative look at writing by and about people with illness or disability—in particular HIV/AIDS, breast cancer, deafness, and paralysis—who challenge the stigmas attached to their conditions by telling their lives in their own ways and on their own terms. Discussing memoirs, diaries, collaborative narratives, photo documentaries, essays, and other forms of life writing, G. Thomas Couser shows that these books are not primarily records of medical conditions; they are a means for individuals to recover their bodies (or those of loved ones) from marginalization and impersonal medical discourse. Responding to the recent growth of illness and disability narratives in the United St...
