Description
Description
While society called his disability an obstacle and limitation, Neil argued that his "flourishing dystonia" allowed him to think, explore, and create art in a way most people cannot. True to his words, Neil embraced every opportunity to experience life to its fullest, from navigating the Alaskan wilderness in a wheelchair to commanding the spotlight on stage.
In this deeply personal account, Neil invites readers into his world as he remembers adventures and escapades, triumphs and disappointments. Through it all, Neil's humor and wisdom reminds us to rethink labels and look beyond the obvious.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Neil lived his life as both an artist and also as a work of art. His memoir gives a fourth dimension to one of the most beautiful humans I have ever met. The honesty, clarity and precision in his writing is a manual on how to live an examined life with complete commitment to love and art."
Anthony Edwards, actor
"Neil invited and welcomed and-in some cases-demanded that people look. He brought them into his reality, which was not a reality of disability; it was a reality of his definition of life."
Rod Lathim, Director/Producer Storm Reading
"Neil's long-awaited stunning contribution is compelling for the public and a 'must read' for disability studies students."
Devva Kasnitz, PhD, Adjunct Professor of Disability Studies, CUNY
