Easy Reading is an explosive and daring novel by the prize-winning Spanish writer Cristina Morales that delves into the realms of bodies, sex, politics, and disability. Set in Barcelona, the story revolves around Ángela, Patricia, Marga, and Nati, cousins who live together in a state-subsidized flat and are labeled as disabled. Despite their challenges, they refuse to let the state dictate their lives and actively seek ways to maintain their independence and assert their identities. Through various creative outlets, such as dance and underground zines, they challenge the dominant narrative and fight against the marginalization they face.
Easy Reading is a humorous and furious indictment of the institutions that stigmatize individuals as disabled and the language that perpetuates their marginalization. It offers a vivid and captivating portrait of contemporary Barcelona, showcasing the city's vibrant energy and cultural richness. At its core, Easy Reading is a feminist celebration of the body in all its forms, exploring female desire, queer sexuality, and the transformative power of language.
Translated from the Spanish by Kevin Gerry Dunn, this novel offers a unique perspective on the experiences of disabled individuals and challenges readers to think critically about the societal norms and expectations that shape our lives. It is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the intersection of gender, sexuality, and disability and in celebrating the resilience and creativity of marginalized communities.
