Tells the story of Lyson Sulla, a Deaf man entirely despondent of the feeling that "the hearing think deaf means dumb," who sets out to establish a sovereign Deaf state on an island called Islay. This book charts Sulla's quest across the nation to rally support and recruit citizens, and his subsequent efforts to become elected state's governor.

A novel, that recounts the rollicking tale of a young deaf boy and how he learned to survive and thrive at the turn of the twentieth century.
