Les mots qu'on ne dit pas

“Hey, you bunch of assholes!”
That’s how I greet my parents when I get home.
My friends never believe me when I tell them my parents are deaf.
I’m going to prove to them that I’m telling the truth.
“Hey, you bunch of assholes!” And my mom comes over to give me a tender kiss.”

Without holding back, with biting humor, she tells her story. Her father, deaf and mute. Her mother, deaf and mute. Uncle Guy, deaf as a post, too. Everyday life. Outings. Vacations. Sex. She turns the tension between two worlds into a source of richness. What could have been a tragedy becomes a comedy. From a family unlike any other, a book unlike any other.
