When soldiers breaking up a protest kill a deaf boy, Petya, the gunshot becomes the last thing the citizens hear--they all have gone deaf, and their dissent becomes coordinated by sign language. The story follows the private lives of townspeople encircled by public violence: a newly married couple, Alfonso and Sonya, expecting a child; the brash Momma Galya, instigating the insurgency from her puppet theater; and Galya's girls, heroically teaching signing by day and by night luring soldiers one by one to their deaths behind the curtain. At once a love story, an elegy, and an urgent plea, Ilya Kaminsky's long-awaited \u003ci\u003eDeaf Republic\u003c\/i\u003e confronts our time's vicious atrocities and our collective silence in the face of them.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1555978312\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781555978310\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Kaminsky, Ilya, N\/A, N\/A\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Graywolf Press\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Graywolf Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Mar 2019)","offer_id":45656928518341,"sku":"9781555978310","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781555978310.jpg?v=1768885670","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/deaf-republic-poems","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
