520    "A deafblind writer and professor explores how the 
       misrepresentation of disability in books, movies, and TV 
       harms both the disabled community and everyone else"--
       |cProvided by publisher 
520    With partial vision in one eye and bilateral hearing aids,
       Sjunneson lives at the crossroads of blindness and sight, 
       hearing and deafness. While she cannot see well enough to 
       operate without a guide dog or cane, she can see enough to
       know when someone is reacting to the visible signs of her 
       blindness and can hear when they're whispering behind her 
       back. As a media studies professor, she has also seen the 
       full range of blind and deaf portrayals on film. Here she 
       deconstructs their impact, following common tropes through
       horror, romance, and everything in between. In doing so, 
       she explores how our cultural concept of disability is 
       more myth than fact-- and the damage it does to us all. --
