Call Me Ahab
Call Me Ahab: A Short Story Collection | Anne Finger
1 post | 3 to read
Imagine a Hollywood encounter between Helen Keller and Frida Kahlo, "two female icons of disability." Or the story of "Moby Dick, or, The Leg," told from Ahab's perspective. What if Vincent Van Gogh resided in a twentieth-century New York hotel, surviving on food stamps and direct communications with God? Or if the dwarf pictured in a seventeenth-century painting by Velazquez should tell her story? And, finally, imagine the encounter between David and Goliath from the Philistine's point of view.

This was tough. It's not as if I've never read books that don't have disabled characters or protagonists but the only (fictional) ones I could think of were written by non-diabled authors. So I researched and this is going to be the start of my attempt to read more authors with a lived experience of disability! #Litsy - always helping you to read more diversely 😘
