[stylist] Fantasy and the conservative reader?

[LoriStay at aol.com]

I wasn't as concerned about the nude scene as I was about the fact so many 
people were deaf, blind, or a combination of the two, and also otherwise 
disabled.   You don't say how Liza communicates.   Does she talk and hope 
people can hear her?   Often found myself wondering, though at times you did 
mention fingerspelling.
