Disfigured: On Fairy Tales, Disability, and Making Space by Amanda Leduc

challenging hopeful informative medium-paced

5.0

Amanda Leduc has made me ask myself: what do I want disabled stories to look like? Because it certainly isn’t the fairytales that she explores, the ones that make us deformed villains, pitiful side characters, or ‘fixable’ protagonists. 

I want to exist in a world that embraces disabled folks for our differences and allows us to move freely without outward hindrances. I want disabled protagonists who take rest days, who have aid malfunctions, who are messy and weird and joyous.
