Woman’s Hour Interview With Louise Stern Yesterday
June 16, 2010
Yesterday, the BBC Ouch Blog reported:
On today’s Woman’s Hour Jane Garvey interviewed deaf US novelist Louise Stern through an ASL interpreter.
Louise was there to promote Chattering, her recently published collection of short stories, each one dealing with a different aspect of communication.
We hear Louise discussing the funnier side of deafness and the quirks of communicating with hearing people. But more than that, it’s a unique piece of radio which is well worth a listen. She can be heard signing and at points, laughing out loud, but every word she says is conveyed verbally by a male interpreter.
A transcript is available to download.
