sleepywhippetbookclub 's review for:
Hunchback
by Saou Ichikawa
Knowing the small amount I do about the experience of being female or disabled in Korea, I can only imagine what it's like to actually live it. The anger and frustration from the main character felt so raw and I emphasised with so much of what she said. I'm disabled in a different way to Shaka but it felt very surreal listening to her anger around disability and pain as an audiobook because holding my eReader or a book was too painful. Especially when the main character laments able-bodied people being able to hold books open without pain and the ableism associated with this.
I've been meaning to pick this up for a while and I'm glad I finally did. She's a very angry person and the story feels very limited in a way that works so well with the subject matter so ⭐⭐⭐⭐ from me. I'd recommend reading this, especially if you're not disabled, because we all need to be aware of the privilege of good health/ability, whatever level of it we might have.
