Proved on the Pulses: On the Essay and its Literary Cousins

Ian Brown wins Charles Taylor Award

The press release is here.

I think the book is worthy of the attention it has received. It’s a profoundly moving yet unsentimental account of life with a disabled child, and a sometimes disquieting investigation into the meaning of disability in our culture. It is also one of the most honest love stories I’ve ever read. Congratulations to Ian Brown for his achievement.
