Brilliant Imperfection: Grappling with Cure by Eli Clare

5.0

I rarely buy books brand new and this was one of them. I loved Exile and Pride so I couldn't wait to read this. It definitely did not disappoint. It is filled with many insights and poses even more questions- something I wish more folks would do. This book is empowering and unapologetic about disability in all of its forms. It includes many narratives from specific analyses of famous disability stories to personal stories of oppression and love to general statements on intersections of race, class, gender, sexuality, disability, species, class, and many other things that affect our "body-minds." Eli Clare gets it. And poses prompts for conversation when he's not sure. I'm so grateful for him and his work.
