The View from My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body | Paperback | Growing up as a paralyzed girl during the ‘90s and early 2000s, Taussig only ever say disability depicted as something monstrous (The Hunchback of Notre Dame), inspirational (Helen Keller), or angelic (Forrest Gump). None of this felt right because none of it was how she experienced her life: complex and ordinary, uncomfortable and fine, painful and fulfilling. Whether it’s the complications of kindness and charity, the pervasiveness of ableism in our everyday media (and how it directly translates to her everyday life), the beauty in both independence and dependence, or the endless cracks in America’s healthcare system, Taussig brilliantly captures the rhythms and textures of what it means to live in her body. Poignant, lyrical, and unforgettable, Sitting Pretty challenges us as a society to be patient and vigilant, practical and imaginative, and kind and relentless as we build a more radically inclusive future together.
