The book demonstrates the Polish community of people who are deaf, deaf and speechless, and hard of hearing. The author comes to understand what life can seem like for people who are completely separated from others. A life in which one’s native language is a foreign tongue since one cannot employ it. But this “in turn” means that practically speaking, one is a citizen of no state, becoming instead an inhabitant of the titular “deaf backwoods” – an extraordinarily silent, lonely, and unbearable planet. In this sense, Goc’s book is no run-of-the-mill interventionist reportage but a manifesto from completely isolated places and mysterious enclaves, where one communicates differently and perceives people and reality in a different way, too. God’s reportage opens an entirely new perspective on human life to us, the “hearts” of people.
