Aparna Sachdev’s Reviews > The Child That Books Built: A Life in Reading > Status Update

My God! What towering, ableist privilege, to lay claim to imagination, and internal worlds, to acknowledge these as inviolate for herself, and to then turn around and claim that people with intellectual disabilities, autistic people - in short, people who don't think exactly like her - can have no part of it. "...and ever since, I've hated vulnerable people". For shame. Is that the child that books built?
