A dream‐like coming‐of‐age novel about a boy with a stutter
growing up in 1970s Montreal who becomes a young gay man with a stutter who
uses sound to remember and understand. He decodes subliminal messages heard in
record albums, finds prophecy in twisted retellings of Bible stories, and
studies the speech of the famously disfluent including The Grand Antonio, a
strongman he befriended as a kid. This is a loudly exclaimed book of whispers,
rumors, and the tangled barbs of repressed memory; it is speech therapy for the
bent: the signal is purposely perverted, and the sounds thrill and beguile.
Includes an afterword by Sarah Schulman.
