Voice

Description:

**How deafness influences one writer's creative process** In ***Voice***, Adam Pottle explores the crucial role deafness has played in the growth of his imagination, and in doing so presents a unique perspective on a writer’s development. Born deaf in both ears, Pottle recounts what it was like growing up in a world of muted sound, and how his deafness has influenced virtually everything about his writing, from his use of language to character and plot choices. Salty, bold, and relentlessly honest, *Voice* makes us think about writing in entirely new ways and expands our understanding of deafness and the gifts that it can offer.
