Description
Christina Crosby's memoir A Body, Undone is a powerful exploration of disability, identity and the human experience. In 2003, Crosby was involved in a cycling accident that left her paralyzed, forcing her to confront the complexities of her body and its limitations. Through lyrical prose and critical feminist thinking, Crosby recounts her journey towards healing and self-discovery, drawing on her experiences as a woman, an academic and a member of the LGBTQ+ community. This is a deeply personal and unsentimental account of living with disability, one that acknowledges the beauty and fragility of all human bodies. By sharing her story, Crosby offers a unique perspective on the intersections of pain, grief, love and desire, and the ways in which we can find meaning and purpose despite adversity.
