Deaf Like Me - Paperback

by Dave Blackwell (Author)

On the first day of his vacation, George is called back into work after a crisis grips the engineering department where he works in a hospital.

Guilt tripped by a colleague, he reluctantly returns to work where a lady from the past, captures his heart. From the moment he walks in, the very reasons why he had planned a month's vacation becomes clear.

Having just turned forty, George is profoundly deaf and wears an implant and lipreads. Never taking anything seriously and having no filters in life, George resorts to turning everything into a joke and releasing his blunt responses on anyone that dares to get in his way or make his hearing disability an issue. With a sarcastic attitude and a short fuse, those around him begin to bring out the worst and he takes no survivors.

A working week slap bang in the middle of a pandemic that picks at situations old and new, where life for a deaf person is complicated and far from ordinary.

Annoyance and comedy that will make you laugh, groan and roll your eyes.
