    Terrific, dramatic and very funny
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2009*

Over the past decade I've read numerous memoirs by writers from the LGBT community, most notably by Dan Savage, Alison Bechdel and Augusten Burroughs.  Obviously, some are more successful then others communicating their life's trials and tribulations.  Terry Galloway's Mean Little Deaf Queer is successful for a myriad of reasons, the most pronounced being her ferocious wit and an ability to write well, as well as engagingly.  As a founder (and most visible cast member) of Mickee Faust Club, a local theatrical troupe, she has become a bona fide Tallahassee celebrity [a claim she humbly denies].  Galloway is, for all intents and purposes, deaf.  This has left her handicapped, but my no means disabled.  Yes, she tells some horror stories.  However, it is her triumphs over her adversities that resound throughout this inspiring volume.  She is, as we all are, a truly unique individual.  Her stories of gradually losing her hearing at age 9, coming to terms with her burgeoning sexuality, dealing with bigotry and humiliations both oblivious and intentional are told in language which allows her readers to recognize, appreciate and empathize; some may even see their complicity in society's crime of marginalizing minorities.  The chapters in this book which affected me most profoundly were those dealing with her family.  There is a scene of her mother singing while ironing her husband's clothes, a private moment of reverie and connubial affirmation the author captures with exquisite sensitivity.  Her father's deathbed scene, the miracle of the ponds, and outpouring of love by his wife and daughters had me reading through tears.  There are many stories depicted in these pages; some hard to take, others dark and humorous.  The lady tells a story of being locked up in a NYC mental ward that is wickedly funny; an inspired scene of comic hijinks and merriment worthy of "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest," complete with an evil (Ronald Reagan loving) head nurse.  With "Mean Little deaf Queer" Galloway proves adept at releasing her life's stories with clarity and humor; she is a literary Whirling Dervish, spinning her yarns without distraction, leaving her readers conquered but not at all dizzy.

    Powerful, funny memoir takes a unique personal story and makes it universal
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2009*

Mean Little deaf Queer is remarkable -- this memoir transmutes Terry Galloway's unique, quirky, anguished, sometimes goofy but nevertheless powerful individual narrative into a larger exploration of the way we tell stories to ourselves and to others in order to construct our places in the world.Terry as a child experienced moments when she was transported out of her body -- later, she engaged in an elaborate exploration of how to transport herself back into her body, to live in the world as the person she was. At the same time, in theater, she was transported again by the powers of drama and comedy. (There is a passage about performance of Shakespeare in a barn in Texas that magnificently captures such a moment.) The reader will be transported as well.A word about the prose: Many people who are familiar with Galloway's work in theater, even work that she herself has authored or co-authored, think of her primarily as a performer.  Here you get to experience her as a pure writer, finding another channel through which to link her life and wisdom to ours.  Her writing is itself a performance -- a high-wire act in which the challenge is not to fall into self-absorbed sentiment on the one side or the glib, easy laugh on the other.  Galloway meets that challenge and exceeds it in a way that, again and again, will take your breath away. Her writing is lyrical, precise, and relentlessly expressive.I've known Terry for about 30 years, so this isn't an objective review. But it is a fair one, because I wouldn't praise a book -- even a friend's book -- unless I thought it deserved praise. Mean Little deaf Queer deserves very high praise indeed.

    Storytelling from a Born Performer
  

*by R***B on Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2009*

Initially, I was baffled by a new bunch of memoirs by 80s and 90s performance artists like Tim Miller and Karen Finley--I sort of thought, "why write a book when you have already been telling these stories with your body, live, in front of a real audience?"Terry Galloway reminds us that at the center of all of this are the stories.  Though I missed the possibility of seeing her tell these stories live onstage, I never could have gotten so many, so densely layered, so strongly felt, so mysterious, so ridiculous, so important, in one performance.Galloway talks repeatedly about being a flirt and a charmer, and by the end of the book, you realized she's charmed the pants right off of the reader, without even the benefit of eye contact and physical contact, with only her stories...MLdQ is a wonderful book, steeped in stories told the old fashioned way by someone who happened to be on the cutting edge of live storytelling through performance.
