«Radio Head Gal» is Rebecca Knill's memoir, published by JMT Press in hardcover (300 pages, in English).
Rebecca Knill, a TED speaker with hearing loss, narrates her life before and after receiving cochlear implants, a procedure that gives rise to her alter ego Radio Head Gal. The author questions the idea that living with a disability is inferior and defends deafness as another form of human diversity, through her relationships with her sign language interpreter and her hearing mother, and themes such as faith, love, betrayal, and the search for belonging.
Memoir published in June 2024 by JMT Press. The author is recognized for her TED talk included in the Editor's Choice Top 25 Talks selection of 2020.
Will appeal to people with hearing loss, those who live with them, and readers of memoirs about identity, accessibility, and self-esteem.
