Ugly Feet, OCD, and Other Intimations of Resistance
Praise For Aymon E. Langlois "Engaging with scholarship as an essayist can be risky: the academic approach can easily overintellectualize a subject, keeping it at a sterile, critical distance. But in this powerful series of linked essays, Aymon Langlois uses theory to apprehend his subject-the complex interactions between disability and masculinity-with incredible precision and force. A promising, exhilarating entry into the canon of writing that successfully weaves together memoir and critical inquiry." - Andrew Leland, author of The Country of the Blind: A Memoir at the End of Sight "In compelling, companionable, and often lyrical prose, Langlois fashions essays that are intelligent, heartfelt, and moving. After a brief time in their company, you may never experience the world the same way again-and you will be better off for that." - Ben Mattlin, author of Disability Pride: Dispatches from a Post-ADA World "Ugly Feet, OCD, and Other Intimations of Resistance is a poetic rumination on masculinity, disability, identity and the self. Langlois blurs the line between the academic theoretical, rhetoric
