He wasn't a political prisoner or a social recluse, he was simply born deaf and had never been taught even the most basic language. Susan Schaller, then a twenty-four-year-old graduate student, encountered him in a class for the deaf where she had been sent as an interpreter and where he sat isolated, since he knew no sign language. She found him obviously intelligent and sharply observant but unable to communicate, and she felt compelled to bring him to a comprehension of words. The book vividly conveys the challenge, the frustrations, and the exhilaration of opening the mind of a congenitally deaf person to the concept of language. This second edition includes a new chapter and afterword. 606 $aDeaf$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aMexicans$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aDeaf$xMeans of communication 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDeaf 615 0$aMexicans 615 0$aDeaf$xMeans of communication. 676 $a220 700 $aSchaller$b Susan$01037429 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453236203321 996 $aA man without words$92458408 997 $aUNINA
