Ed Garland used reading to help him cope with hearing loss and tinnitus. In this genre-busting blend of memoir and literary criticism, the author reveals his own journey towards an understanding of sonic loss. Written with humorous honesty about the fluctuations in a young man's mental health. -- Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru

The English-language fiction classics of Wales explored include
the work of Margiad Evans, Bernice Rubens, and Deborah Kay Davies. The international titles are by Annie Proulx and Samuel Beckett. Earwitness amplifies the rich connections between literature, auditory perception and mental wellbeing.
