Profile of Yours Truly, complete with Very Cool Illustration, in Quill & Quire.
As a child, Amanda Leduc would pretend to be Ariel from The Little Mermaid, searching for lost treasures in the Leduc family swimming pool. “Ariel, of course, gained her legs by magic,” she writes in her new book Disfigured: On Fairy Tales, Disability, and Making Space, to be published in February as part of Coach House Books’s Exploded Views series. “I gained my legs by the decidedly less romantic practicalities of orthopaedic surgery, practicalities which left me with a limp that wouldn’t go away.”
