Mean Little Deaf Queer
An edgy and rather wicked memoir, Terry Galloway’s Mean Little Deaf Queer is the work of one mean talent. The book is akin to Running with Scissors colliding with The Liars Club at 180 mph.
When Galloway was born on Halloween, no one realized that an experimental antibiotic given to her mom had wreaked havoc on her fetal nervous system. Moving from Berlin to Austin, Texas, Galloway’s childhood was a deafening and hallucinatory one, during which her body changed for the worse. These unwelcome transformations awoke in the child a dark, savagely uncompromising humor that’s on display in this frank autobiography. Galloway writes about her mental breakdowns, queer identity and being deaf. This book is as devastating as it is brilliant.
