57. Guest Jennifer Rosner 6-1-23

Loved chatting with Jennifer Rosner is the author of the novels ONCE WE WERE HOME and THE YELLOW BIRD SINGS, a National Jewish Book Award finalist in debut fiction and book club and a Massachusetts Fiction Honors Book. She is also author of the memoir IF A TREE FALLS: A FAMILY'S QUEST TO HEAR AND BE HEARD, and the children's book, THE MITTEN STRING, a Sydney Taylor Book Award Notable.

Jennifer's books have been translated into a dozen languages. Her writing has appeared in the New York Times, The Times of Israel, The Massachusetts Review, The Forward, and elsewhere. In addition to writing, Jennifer has taught philosophy. She earned her B.A. from Columbia University and her Ph.D. from Stanford University. She lives in Western Massachusetts with her family.

The hearing parent of two deaf children, Jennifer shares about how her experiences raising children with hearing loss in a hearing world have had a significant influence on her work and themes throughout her writing. In today’s conversation, you’ll learn more about Jennifer’s inspiring story and background.

And how to navigate “…handing over this child to native speakers, which means you’re losing this intimacy and connection.” Jennifer explains what those challenges were like, how the experience differed from her first child to her second, and how the politics of her decisions for her daughter’s evoked reactions from people outside the family.

Thank you, Jennifer, for this insightful, poignant chat.
