Disfigured gets a starred review in Quill & Quire!
Leduc not only mines traditional tales from the likes of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen but also analyzes the influence of pop culture on our collective thinking. She offers an illuminating look at the facial scars of Bond villains, the limitations of Disney princesses, and the more contemporary hero narratives found in the Marvel Universe. She also delves into areas her reader may not have considered: disabled people’s stories acting as “inspiration porn,” or common well-meaning but damaging refrains like “the only disability is a bad attitude” and “look what you’ve overcome.”
