Résumé
A wheelchair user living voluntarily in a care home, Dexter Ripley lashes out at all those around him - his behaviour so outrageous yet insightful that Ripley is curiously both repelling and fascinating. With a boisterous, propulsive voice, Ripley shares… his insights on life as a care home resident, his relationships with his sister and her son, his career as a professor, and, despite his bitter nature, his goal of creating a philosophy based on positivity and imagination. Through the voice of this embittered man, the author creates a treatise that views disability as a philosophical position rather than a physical or mental condition. 2013.
