For Read Harder Challenge #23: Read a book by a disabled author. The pop culture references were clearly for someone younger than me... but this is a charming collection of essays.
4.5 stars
Excellent array of essays, a little redundant - at times, that has given me so much to think about. I love it, when something I read expands my awareness. This collection of essays certainly has, from thinking about the minutia (to me - an able bodied person) of seating and the comfort or lack there of, to a disabled person; to the lack of romantic love that some disabled people will never experience; to one that most minority groups seek, better representation in the media - rather than always seeing tired, overused tropes; to learning to love yourself despite, the world seeing you, as other. This collection of essays is definitely, worth the read.
