Every Cripple a Superhero

＂Every Cripple a Superhero is at once a memoir of life with a progressive disorder, and a profound exploration of the challenges of loving, being loved, and living a public life -navigating restaurants, airplanes, museums and artists’ retreats - in a world not designed for you. Threaded throughout are Keller’s own photographs of the unexpected beauty found in puddle-filled ’curb cuts’, the pavement ramps that, left to disintegrate, form part of the urban obstacle course. Those puddles become portals into a different, truer city; and, as they do, so this book - told with humor and immense grace - begins to uncover a truer world: one where the ’normal’ is not normal, where disability is far more widespread than we might think, and where there always exist, just alongside our own, the lives of everyday superheroes.＂--
