THE SHAPE OF SOUND: Fiona Murphy
THE SHAPE OF SOUND
by Fiona Murphy
Rave reviews from Helen Garner, Bri Lee and Sarah Krasnostein? It’s fair to say, Fi Murphy’s debut is a must read in 2021. A mix of memoir, essay-like explorations and big-hearted honesty, this is a story that will make you see the world differently. The Shape of Sound peels back the layers on deafness, on disability, and reveals as much about society as a whole as it does on the lived experience of disabled people in this country. Powerful, considered, and incredibly moving work.
