Brilliant Imperfection: Grappling with Cure by Eli Clare

challenging informative reflective slow-paced

Went into this book hoping to learn more and I got all of that and more. This book really helped me understand and think about my own experiences, while also learning more about others in the disabled community. Clare weaves together nonfiction, memoir, analysis, and beautiful little wanderings into nature so well! I love how he treats cure as something complicated and acknowledges that while it has objective bads there are also a million more different ways people interact with it that are not completely bad. As with everything, there are usually no absolutes. Also his analyses of how ableism works in tandem with racism, sexism, classism, and environmental destruction is the type of scope I think is seen in some great works.
