<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This portrait of New York's Lafayette School for the Deaf is not just a work of journalism. It is also a memoir, since Leah Hager Cohen grew up on the school's campus and her father is its superintendent. As a hearing person raised among the deaf, Cohen appreciates both the intimate textures of that silent world and the gulf that separates it from our own.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In American Sign Language, train go sorry means missing the boat. Leah Hager Cohen uses the phrase as shorthand for the myriad missed connections between the deaf and the hearing. Yet in this stunning work of journalism and memoir she also forges new connections. As she ushers readers into New York's Lexington School for the Deaf, Cohen (whose grandfather was deaf and whose father was the school's superintendent) conveys the intimate truths of this silent but articulate world.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Leah Hager Cohen</b> is the author of five works of nonfiction, including <i>Train Go Sorry</i> and five novels, including <i>The Grief of Others</i>, which was longlisted for the Orange Prize and the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and a finalist for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize. <p/>She is Distinguished Writer in Residence at the College of the Holy Cross and teaches in the MFA Program in Creative Writing at Lesley University.
