What's That Pig Outdoors?: A Memoir of Deafness

Henry Kisor. Penguin Books, $16 (288pp) ISBN 978-0-14-014899-2

Kisor, book editor of the Chicago Sun-Times , lost his hearing after a bout with meningitis at age three and has since relied on spoken language and lip reading. PW called the memoir ``genial and moving, sharp and witty.'' ``With unflinching candor and telling details, Kisor cites the ways in which being deaf among the hearing shaped his personal and professional experiences.''
