Читать книгу Such a Pretty Girl - Nadina LaSpina - Страница 8

In this memoir, aesthetic and emotional truth is given precedence over factual truth. To protect privacy, the names and characteristics of some people and places are changed, and, in some cases, two or more individuals are made into one. Some events in my personal life are compressed and their sequence altered to improve the flow of the narrative. Dialogue is recreated. The disability language changes according to the usage of the times. I use “cripple” in some instances for its shock value. I regret if anyone is offended. In no way do I intend to speak for all people with all different types of disabilities.
