He lost his hearing and refused to let it cost him his work. Herbert Collingwood, a farm editor with a national readership, writes about the country he was forced to move into: a world with the sound turned off, where the meeting, the joke and the warning all pass just out of reach. Practical, unsentimental, and quietly furious about how people treat a man who cannot hear them.
