Stuart’s comments from the Diversity in All Forms! group.

Ohh - Almost forgot Deaf Republic, profound, lyrical tale in verse. Definitely shades of Ionesco.

I confess, I was not a fan -- at all -- of A Little Life Very, very long and disturbing to read and and exactly the opposite reaction to the main character as Chuck -- but to each their own and a little controversy isn't a bad thing.

Rather liked the new short story anthology “The Right way to be Crippled and Naked https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

And even more than that I adore the poetry and essay collection “Beauty is a Verb” by the same editor https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

As a person with disability I am adamantly in the camp that you need to read works written by people with disabilities-unless the point is to explore how disability has been used as a metaphor or has perpetuated stereotypes, or facilitated othering, or inspiration porn.

Agree with comments expressing skepticism about “me before you”
