Yellow Pages: A Catalogue of Intentions

by Nicole Markotic

A novel that travels not only through the life and mind of Alexander Graham Bell - the man whose "little contraption" changed the way the world communicates - but that gives his voiceless wife the chance to spin her own magical tale of love and logic, to let her fingers do the talking. In a journey back through time to Boston and the younger years of one of our most famous inventors, Yellow Pages follows the repercussions of Bell's further inventions...

Sexy and Poetic

This book uses love and other stories to tell about the nasty things Alexander Graham Bell has done to deaf education in North America. Everybody gets a voice in this historical version, from Mabel to Watson. It is beautifully written, bringing together many perspectives that speak to each other evocatively. I learned so much about deaf culture, and I couldn't put it down. I can't wait to check out Markotic's poetry!
