Summary "Christopher Jon Heuer lost his hearing early, but not before "being able to hear a lot as a kid." He also received a good education, both in a speech-oriented setting and a signing environment. These varied experiences provided him with the perfect background to write about biases he faced, not only those of a mostly oblivious hearing society, but also those of ideologically restrictive members of the Deaf community. This volume combines new work of Heuer's with his best columns from The Tactile Mind Weekly and the National Association of the Deafs Mind Over Matter. He addresses all topics - exit interviews, baldness, faith healing, marriage, cats, Christmas trips, backyard campfires in boxer shorts - with a withering wit that spares no aspect of life and deafness. The even-handed irreverence that he expresses in BUG, is indeed a bomb that should go off in everyone's consciousness about being deaf and Deaf."--book jacket.
