Description

Dead Languages

Washington State Book Award, 1990
Silver Medal, Commonwealth Club of California Book Awards, 1990

From the moment his mother tries unsuccessfully to coax him into saying "Philadelphia," Jeremy Zorn's life is framed by his unwieldy attempts at articulation. Through family rituals with his word-obsessed parents and sister, failed first love, an ill-fated run for class president, as the only Jewish boy on an otherwise all-black basketball team, all of the passages of Jeremy's life are marked in some way by his stutter and his wildly off-the-mark attempts at a cure. It is only when he enters college and learns his strong-willed mother is dying that he realizes all languages, when used as hiding places for the heart, are dead ones.

IMPORTANT: condition descriptions provided by eBay in their 'item specifics' template shown above my listings are likely incorrect due to limitations of the software listing program. MOST of my books are either VERY GOOD or GOOD condition.
