失聪的乌托邦：回忆录——一封写给生活方式的情书[有声读物]

演员、制片人、两次真人秀获奖者、国际聋人社区的文化偶像尼尔·迪马科的一本发自内心、鼓舞人心的回忆录和聋人文化庆祝活动。在成为如今人们所熟知的演员、制片人、倡导者和模特之前，尼尔·迪马科是纽约皇后区一个多代失聪家庭的一对失聪双胞胎的一半。在出生后的一天，在医院里，奈尔的第一次测试“失败”，这是一次听力测试，让他的父母感到高兴和兴奋。在这本引人入胜的回忆录中，奈尔分享了令人心碎和幽默的故事，讲述了在一个为听力而建立的世界中航行意味着什么。从在皇后区的坎坷童年和他爱的意大利裔美国人大家庭中长大，到现在的他，尼尔一直被驱使着去探索超越给他的界限。
作为华盛顿著名的聋人大学加拉德特分校的一名大学数学专业学生和运动员，奈尔在年轻时就被吸引到了演艺界，并率先投身于真人秀比赛《美国下一代顶级模特》和《与明星共舞》，最终赢得了这两项比赛。失聪的乌托邦不仅仅是一本回忆录；这是一首文化圣歌，是一首关于聋人文化的骄傲而挑衅的歌曲，也是一封写给美国手语（Nyle的主要语言）的情书。通过他的故事和他的聋哑兄弟、父母和祖父母的故事，Nyle打开了许多进入聋人体验的窗口。《聋人乌托邦》是一部亲密、悬疑、搞笑、大开眼界、聪明的回忆录，也是对聋人文化独特而美丽的庆祝。
Deaf Utopia: A Memoir – and a Love Letter to a Way of Life [Audiobook]
A heartfelt and inspiring memoir and celebration of Deaf culture by Nyle DiMarco, actor, producer, two-time reality show winner, and cultural icon of the international Deaf community. Before becoming the actor, producer, advocate, and model that people know today, Nyle DiMarco was half of a pair of Deaf twins born to a multigenerational Deaf family in Queens, New York. At the hospital one day after he was born, Nyle “failed” his first test—a hearing test—to the joy and excitement of his parents. In this engrossing memoir, Nyle shares stories, both heartbreaking and humorous, of what it means to navigate a world built for hearing people. From growing up in a rough-and-tumble childhood in Queens with his big and loving Italian American family to where he is now, Nyle has always been driven to explore beyond the boundaries given him.
A college math major and athlete at Gallaudet—the famed university for the Deaf in Washington, DC—Nyle was drawn as a young man to acting, and dove headfirst into the reality show competitions America’s Next Top Model and Dancing with the Stars—ultimately winning both competitions. Deaf Utopia is more than a memoir; it is a cultural anthem—a proud and defiant song of Deaf culture and a love letter to American Sign Language, Nyle’s primary language. Through his stories and those of his Deaf brothers, parents, and grandparents, Nyle opens many windows into the Deaf experience. Deaf Utopia is intimate, suspenseful, hilarious, eye-opening, and smart—both a memoir and a celebration of what makes Deaf culture unique and beautiful.
