Description

Humor, pain and copious amounts of love run throughout this critically acclaimed novel by Tom Lanoye. Both brave and honest, Speechless is a poignant homage to Lanoyes late mother, Jose.

Flamboyant, proud and dominant, Jose is unrecognizable after suffering a stroke, which strips her of the ability to speak and express herself with the expansiveness for which she was known. With style and grace, Lanoye weaves together autobiography, testimony, and fiction to recount the last years of his mothers life and the years before her stroke.

Harnessing his power as a playwright and dexterity as a poet, Lanoye employs rich prose to paint a colorful picture of growing up and coming to terms with his homosexuality.Speechless is compellingly translated from the Dutch by Paul Vincent, whose skillful translation complements Lanoyes rich style.
