Book Description:
|
Appalachian literature has no small share of silent or non-discursive characters, though the reasons for their wordlessness vary. They capture the reader's attention by what they don't say. This collection of new essays analyses characters who are unable or unwilling to communicate orally, whose lack of voice conveys physical, mental or social hindrance.
