Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot
|
|
This autobiography of a quadriplegic cartoonist is by turns hilarious, sad, sick, inspiring and illustrated with the funniest cartoons since The Far Side. (http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/isbn=9780679728245/)
Equal parts laugh-out-loud funny and angering to the point of disbelief, this is John Callahan’s story told in his own words and pictures. John is a cartoonist whose work not only challenges but attacks and explodes social norms. He is also a quadriplegic and recovering alcoholic who has suffered through abusive support providers, endured battles with the welfare system, maintained his vicious sense of humor, and emerged from some difficult times happy, successful, and determined to change prevailing attitudes about disability, potential, normalcy, and employment. He shares all of his experiences and lessons learned in a straightforward way that does not allow pity or ego to enter the picture. He describes his own brand of faith and sheds some light on our collective humanity. (Source: Center on Human Policy, Syracuse University).
