Books: The Lost Deaf Children and other stories, by Cooper Nickerson<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Lost Deaf Children and Other Stories, by Cooper Nickerson
\n(Self-published, 266 pages, $19.95 softcover) \u2014 Cooper Nickerson offers
\na different twist on deafness.<\/p>\n

The Waterloo writer veers away from the traditional deaf literature and
\nweaves dark and mysterious themes into this eclectic collection of 15
\nstories. He mentions but does not dwell on hearing aids, cochlear
\nimplants, sign language and specialist schools. Instead, he introduces
\nunique characters and places them in circumstances that result in
\nunpredictable \u2014 and sometimes shocking \u2014 outcomes.<\/p>\n

As we enter this deaf storyteller\u2019s world, we encounter lost children,
\nvampires and other supernaturals.<\/p>\n

In a story titled The Stray, a 400-year-old female vampire arrives in
\nHalifax for her annual hunting tour of the Maritimes. At a
\nneighbourhood Tim Hortons, she picks up a deaf, homeless man and
\nconverts him to a vampire.<\/p>\n

In Maxine, His Daughter, an alien wrapped in silky scarves impregnates
\nan unsuspecting woman. The resulting child is gifted, but has no ears.<\/p>\n

The title story is set on the northeastern seaboard of the United
\nStates in 1876. Jerome, a shipwreck survivor, drifts for days on a
\nbroken ship hatch before arriving at a remote island that is populated
\nby deaf people.<\/p>\n

While I enjoyed reading all the stories, I was drawn in particular to
\nMatter of the Heart. In this piece, a 54-yearold man receives a heart
\ntransplant. When he returns home, he starts using sign language and
\nexpresses a desire to become deaf.<\/p>\n

The Lost Deaf Children and Other Stories follows in the footsteps of
\nNickerson\u2019s first book, Hear Like the Deaf People, which he published
\nin 2010. Both are available through Amazon.com or through the author\u2019s
\nown website at http:\/\/www.coopernickerson.com<\/a> .<\/p>\n

Joanne Guidoccio is a Guelph writer.<\/p>\n
