Laura Bain interviews writer Amanda Leduc from Hamilton, Ontario, about her recent non-fiction book Disfigured: On Fairy Tales, Disability, and Making Space published by Coach House Books.

Though they may seem like simple tales with heartwarming messages, fairy tales sometimes provide a false sense of reality when they depict magic and divine intervention erasing disabilities and disadvantages. “Disfigured: On Fairy Tales, Disability, and Making Space,” author and disability advocate Amanda Leduc analyzes how the stories we learn when we’re young help shape our ideas of self-worth, for better or worse.
