Real Reads Book Discussion

Sitting Pretty by Rebekah Taussig

We'll discuss Sitting Pretty: The View from My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body by Rebekah Taussig. Books are available at the Adult & Teen Services Desk one month before each discussion.

Growing up as a paralyzed girl during the 90s and early 2000s, Taussig only saw disability depicted as something monstrous, inspirational, or angelic. She longed for more stories that allowed disability to be complex and ordinary, uncomfortable and fine, painful and fulfilling. Here she writes about the rhythms and textures of what it means to live in a body that doesn't fit.

Coffee and donuts will be served. Contact the Adult & Teen Services department at ATS@dglibrary.org for more information.
