具體描述
When the university merged his Department of Linguistics with English, Professor Desmond Bates took early retirement, but he is not enjoying it. He misses the purposeful routine of the academic year, and has lost his appetite for research. His wife Winifred's late-flowering career goes from strength to strength, reducing his role to that of escort and househusband, while the rejuvenation of her appearance makes him uneasily conscious of the age gap between them. The monotony of his days is relieved only by wearisome journeys to London to check on the welfare of his eighty-nine-year-old father, an ex dance musician who stubbornly refuses to move from the house he is patently unable to live in with safety. But these discontents are nothing compared to the affliction of hearing loss, which is a constant source of domestic friction and social embarrassment.In the popular imagination, he observes, deafness is comic, as blindness is tragic, but for the deaf person himself it is no joke. It is through his deafness that Desmond inadvertently gets involved with a young woman whose wayward and unpredictable behavior threatens to destabilize his life completely. Funny and moving by turns, "Deaf Sentence" is a brilliant account of one man's effort to come to terms with deafness and death, aging and mortality, the comedy and tragedy of human lives.

評分戴维•洛奇是一位不走寻常路的作家，即使在这部小说开篇之前的献词中，他也背离常规，心思细密、情真意切地将此书献给那些多年来一直孜孜不倦地将他的作品翻译成各种语言的译者，而对早已习惯为人作嫁、苦乐自知的译者而言，这无疑是一种少有的荣幸。 戴维•洛奇出生于193...
