Summary: What is intimacy? More than sex, more than romantic love, the pieces in this stunning and illuminating new anthology offer broader and more inclusive definitions of what it can mean to be intimate with another person. Explorations of caregiving, community, access, and friendship offer us alternative ways of thinking about the connections we form with others—a vital reimagining in an era when forced physical distance is at times a necessary norm.
But don't worry: there's still sex to consider—and the numerous ways sexual liberation intersects with disability justice. Plunge between these pages and you'll also find disabled sexual discovery, disabled love stories, and disabled joy. These twenty-five stunning original pieces—plus other modern classics on the subject, all carefully curated by acclaimed activist Alice Wong
Review: A sequel to the well known Disability Visibility essay collection based off the online Disability Visibility project.
Of the two I feel this one did a better job as an essay collection. Disability Visibility was good, but felt similar to a lot of other essay projects built around audio recording projects. Where they do a fairly direct transcription that feels like you are missing a lot of the immediacy of the initial recordings.
Alice Wong, the project lead and Editor of both collections, put out her multimedia biography in between the collections and I feel like the work she did on that piece, translating the mix of audio recordings, photo easays, and narrative memoir into a cohesive piece you could enjoy in both written and audio form helped her better guide this collection.
Split into 3 groupings of essays, it touches on Love and Care, Pleasure and Desire, and Creativity and Power. Moving from the closeness of family, found and born; to the interconnectedness of romantic and sexual intimacy in a disabled light we rarely see; to the effort to share your inner life through the act of creation.
No matter where you are in your disabled life, you will find parts of yourself reflected. Along side essays that make you reconsider whar intimacy means to you. A dozen fellow disabled voices offering you an intimate and kind-hearted look into their lives.
