Description
The Hearing Test by Eliza Barry Callahan is a novel about a young woman who awakens to a mysterious drone in her ear, diagnosed as Sudden Deafness with no explanation. As she navigates her new reality, she keeps a record of her experiences, both the mundane and the extraordinary, in an attempt to make sense of her world. Through a series of encounters with strangers and familiar faces, the protagonist finds solace in the stories and lives of others, from artists to philosophers. Her year of silence becomes a form of survival, a way to find meaning in the midst of uncertainty. This is a novel about the power of human connection and the importance of perception in the face of adversity. With its unique blend of intellect and playfulness, The Hearing Test marks the arrival of a major new literary voice, one that explores the complexities of silence and the beauty of seeing.
