Synopsis
From disability advocate Rebekah Taussig comes an intimate and eye-opening essay collection that processes a lifetime of memories to paint a beautiful nuanced portrait of a body that looks and moves differently than most. Book jacket., A memoir-in-essays from disability advocate and creator of the Instagram account @sitting_pretty Rebekah Taussig, processing a lifetime of memories to paint a beautiful, nuanced portrait of a body that looks and moves differently than most. Growing up as a paralyzed girl during the 90s and early 2000s, Rebekah Taussig only saw disability depicted as something monstrous (The Hunchback of Notre Dame), inspirational (Helen Keller), or angelic (Forrest Gump). None of this felt right; and as she got older, she longed for more stories that allowed disability to be complex and ordinary, uncomfortable and fine, painful and fulfilling. Writing about the rhythms and textures of what it means to live in a body that doesn't fit, Rebekah reflects on everything from the complications of kindness and charity, living both independently and dependently, experiencing intimacy, and how the pervasiveness of ableism in our everyday media directly translates to everyday life. Disability affects all of us, directly or indirectly, at one point or another. By exploring this truth in poignant and lyrical essays, Taussig illustrates the need for more stories and more voices to understand the diversity of humanity. Sitting Pretty challenges us as a society to be patient and vigilant, practical and imaginative, kind and relentless, as we set to work to write an entirely different story.

    The seller was responsive and willing to send my package a couple of days later to a different address since I was in the middle of moving. Book was shipped and arrived as described. Would definitely recommend them!

    Wow! This came incredibly fast given it came from a different country. It was packaged great and stayed protected with a fragile signage sticker on the package itself. The vinyl is in perfect condition and plays nicely. The pictures are so fun to watch! Seller shipped as described and it was well worth the money! Best deal I have gotten.
