Kroppsspråk : fremstillinger av funksjonshemning i kultur og samfunn
Boken drøfter norske og internasjonale eksempler på fremstilling av uvanlige kropper og gir en innføring i nyere forskning på funksjonshemning.
Dette er en bok om kropp i sin alminnelighet og uvanlige kropper i særdeleshet. Den handler om hvordan vi tenker, skriver og forteller om kropper, og om hvordan det går et hovedskille mellom mennesker med kropper som klassifiseres som vanlige, og mennesker med kropper som klassifiseres som uvanlige. For å forstå hvordan dette skillet har oppstått kreves det både kultur- og samfunnsanalyse.
Kroppsspråk har funksjonshemning som et sentralt begrep – fordi vårt moderne begrep om funksjonshemning favner mange av de viktigste sidene ved det å ha en uvanlig kropp.

My work deals first of all with embodiment - with what it means to be a body in an endlessly complex world. I've worked in various genres, combining literary exploration and elements of science fiction and speculative fiction, publishing five short story collections, a novel, and several children's books.
My book of autobiographical non-fiction, I Live a Life Like Yours, was first published in Norwegian in 2018. “The book will, in all likelihood, linger as a mile stone signifying that a new maturity is reaching autobiographical literature in Norwegian non-fiction,” wrote Morgenbladet’s Ane Farsethås. Dagbladet’s reviewer called the book ”a literary masterpiece that I recommend in the strongest terms!”, giving the book five stars. The book went on to win the Literary Critics’ Award and has been nominated to the Nordic Council’s Literature Prize – as the first Norwegian non-fiction book in 50 years. The English translation, published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, will be available in August, 2021.
