Kritik
"As a lifewriting scholar, I found the history of disability activism fascinating. Particularly pertinent was the discussion of how having a different body could affect the style of literary engagement-this is especially so in the case of life writing, surely the most embodied form of writing." (Muireann Leech, Biography, Vol. 44 (4), 2021)

"Disability and Life Writing in Post-Independence Ireland is an outstanding analysis that seamlessly connects Irish history with the disability experience, just as disability is interwoven with all history throughout time. The recurring theme of class structure, encased in disability awareness, treatment, and access is beautifully intertwined so the book often reads like a history of Irish class system as told through the eyes of its disabled citizens." (Kathleen McGoldrick, Disability Studies Quarterly, dsq-sds.org, Vol. 41 (1), 2021)mehr
