Reviewed: Cure, Katherine Brabon, Ultimo Press

Within the disability rights movement, the idea of a ‘cure’ for disability is contentious, often carrying with it the suggestion that the world would be better off without disability and disabled people. This notion implies that our lives are so miserable, meaningless and burdensome that a ‘fix’ is the only thing that might save us. But Cure, Katherine Brabon’s fourth novel, is as far from those dangerous ideas as a novel of this title could be.
