Quotes by Amanda Leduc (?)

“Why, in all of these stories about someone who wants to be something or someone else, was it always the individual who needed to change, and never the world?”
― Amanda Leduc, Disfigured: On Fairy Tales, Disability, and Making Space

“Being disabled puts us on a level of intimacy with our own bodies that in some ways remains, ironically, inaccessible to the able-bodied.”
― Amanda Leduc, Disfigured: On Fairy Tales, Disability, and Making Space

“Disability isn't visited on us in response to a grand, overarching narrative plan, but rather is a lived, complex reality that reimagines the very nature of how we move through and occupy space.”

Hello, Amanda.
Thanks for 'friending' me, from another author who loves dogs, chocolate and some of the other things that you do.

Congrats on the new book. I loved the pictures, and wish I could've come to the launch for Miracles of Ordinary Men.
P.S., you could post something about this in the Read Across Canada group, you're allowed to post something brief about yourself in the Ontario authors thread and in the Author Zone section, but so far, none of the authors have used the Author Zone.
