Ableism fucking everywhere. Why do "quirky" short story collections by white AFAB people lean so fucking hard on abled protagonists' encounters with people with physical disabilities? ???
#30daysofreadathon Day 26: Short Stories
Most of the short stories I own are ebooks, but here is a hardcover collection of rather weird and unsettling ones that I read for #readharder2017 called The Safety of Objects. It would definitely be a fitting read for the October #readathon !
Another in the sick day marathon and this was really odd to say the least. Read for #ReadHarder2017 to meet the prompt to read a collection of short stories by a woman. Disturbing and provocative, the stories didn't have the depth found in the most successful of short stories and I found myself reading just to finish it.
