Summary:
"
Deaf
Republic
opens in an occupied country in a time of political unrest. When soldiers breaking up a protest kill a
deaf
boy, Petya, the gunshot becomes the last thing the citizens hear―they all have gone
deaf
, and their dissent becomes coordinated by sign language. The story follows the private lives of townspeople encircled by public violence: a newly married couple, Alfonso and Sonya, expecting a child; the brash Momma Galya, instigating the insurgency from her puppet theater; and Galya’s girls, heroically teaching signing by day and by night luring soldiers one by one to their deaths behind the curtain. At once a love story, an elegy, and an urgent plea, Ilya Kaminsky’s long-awaited
Deaf
Republic
confronts our time’s vicious atrocities and our collective silence in the face of them."--From publisher.
