 A book for anyone who wants greater understanding November 9, 2000
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Although "Eyes of Desire" is subtitled "A Deaf Gay & Lesbian Reader" it shouldn't be thought of as a book "only" for the deaf or homosexuals. This is a book for anyone who wants greater understanding, or just a good read. For me, it gave me some small insight on how "they" think and feel, gave faces and voices to people I hadn't thought much about, and reminded me that people have more similarities than differences. Some of the pieces are more oriented toward gay issues, some more toward those of the deaf/hearing impaired community, and some both. Some are more more explicit than others. Like any collection of works by various authors with pieces in a variety of styles, every work may not appeal to you equally, but all are worth the time.
 This was exactly what i was looking for! January 22, 2000
Found this book on accident looking for a birthday present for a friend, who happens to be a Deaf lesbian! This turned out to be a great find, a really interesting book, & some insight for hearing people, gay or straight, into Deaf life & culture! A great book!
