Welcome to Litsy!

Disapponted. Some stories stood out, like Nisi Shawl's. Others annoyed me; I would have thought one if the points of a Book of disability fiction by disabled authors is to avoid appropriation, so why is a white dude who is blind writing about the experience of a black woman with cancer who is sexually harassed and overlooked at work? And then I was incensed by the lie that it's the first disability fiction anthology. So I shall eat cheese instead.

Checking out at the library...

Ooh, my library just ordered this! *hits reserve button* #criplit #ownvoices

I bought this as it was recommended on #bookriot. I have to say I'm incredibly disappointed by the cover! A book of short stories about and by people with disabilities I would like it to have a more appealing cover as it looks more like an academic text. If we want to embrace diversity then why make it so bleak? Also, on a more personal note...I hate the C word in the title. On a plus note...I'm looking forward to reading it!
