Interested in conversations about Deaf culture after the Oscars? Here's a novel you need.
After CODA won best picture at this year's Oscars, Philly writer Sara Nović published a great read in Slate about how this film advances Deaf representation -- and what it gets wrong. Her new novel, True Biz, is a multi-layered coming-of-age story that centers Deaf characters from many backgrounds. Don't miss our review of the book this week, along with two highly recommended exhibitions, and a new film you'll be able to stream soon.
