Presenter: , author of
John Cotter was 30 when he first noticed a ringing in his ears. Soon, the ringing became a roar inside his head. Next came partial deafness, then dizziness and vertigo that made him unable to walk, work, sleep or even communicate. What happened next鈥攖he search for understanding and the struggle for a new kind of meaning in his life鈥攊s the story he tells in his memoir, 鈥淟osing Music.鈥� Oprah Daily says 鈥淟osing Music鈥� 鈥渆xplodes an individual experience of illness into a cultural and medical reckoning; with a sociologist鈥檚 rigor and a poet鈥檚 lyricism, Cotter takes readers on an odyssey through the social history of disability, the brutal bureaucracy of the American health care system, and the intimate violence of living in a volatile body.鈥� Cotter will read from the book, talk about living with hearing loss and answer audience questions.
