Deaf utopia : a memoir : and a love letter to a way of life
DiMarco, Nyle, 1989-2022
Book
Before becoming the actor, producer, advocate, and model that people know today, Nyle DiMarco was half of a pair of Deaf twins born to a multi-generational Deaf family in Queens, New York. At the hospital one day after he was born, Nyle 'failed' his first test - a hearing test - to the joy and excitement of his parents. In this engrossing memoir, Nyle shares stories, both heartbreaking and humourous, of what it means to navigate a world built for hearing people. From growing up in a rough-and-tumble childhood in Queens with his big and loving Italian-American family to where he is now, Nyle has always been driven to explore beyond the boundaries given him.
