Requests:  0 Summary:  Growing up as a paralyzed girl during the 90s and early 2000s, Taussig only saw disability depicted as something monstrous, inspirational, or angelic. She longed for more stories that allowed disability to be complex and ordinary, uncomfortable and fine, painful and fulfilling. Here she writes about the rhythms and textures of what it means to live in a body that doesn't fit. Taussig reflects on everything from the complications of kindness and charity, living both independently and dependently, experiencing intimacy, and how the pervasiveness of ableism in our everyday media directly translates to everyday life. She shows how disability affects all of us, directly or indirectly, at one point or another. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.43092 Taussig Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.43092 Taussig Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Biography B Taussig Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Biography B Taussig Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Biography B Taussig Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList
