E420 - Range Of Motion w/ Author Brian Trapp

from Disability After Dark

Episode Notes This week, Andrew sits down with Brian Trapp — fiction writer, memoirist, and professor of disability studies at the University of Oregon — to talk about his debut novel Range of Motion, a decade-in-the-making story that puts severe disability at the centre of a complex, funny, deeply human family portrait. Brian opens up about his real twin brother Danny, who inspired the book, the broken systems his family had to fight through, and why he refuses to let Danny's story be forgotten + so much more.
