The Deaf School is the last in our selection of short stories from Louise Stern's debut collection. The school is the place where the solitary schoolboy Ray is captivated by Joey's beautifully signed stories. In this story, Stern reveals a world that is at times unfamiliar and hard to grasp, but one that at the same time is instantly understood.

Alan Warner says: "An amazing debut. Vibrantly perceptive, gentle, funny and profound."

The reader is Debora Weston.

Abridged and produced by Elizabeth Allard.
