My Body Is Not A Prayer Request by Amy Kenny
A Radical Remapping of Chronic Illness
A candid, incisive collection of essays that blends memoir and cultural criticism to challenge ableism, medical trauma, and the ways society polices disabled bodies. Drawing on personal experience with chronic illness, family, faith, healthcare, and activism, it rejects inspirational tropes, examines intersections of disability, queerness, race, and capitalism, and argues for disability justice, radical care, and bodily autonomy. Witty, blunt, and compassionate, the work reframes disability as a political and communal struggle rather than a private tragedy.
