Bird Bones | Thais Pessanha

Unconventional Reading Club with the aim of discussing the representation of people with disabilities, over the years, through the comparative analysis of classic and contemporary literary works. Taking great care not to give too much spoiler about the books, but bringing a slightly different look: what can these books teach us about the evolution of society and people with disabilities?
The debates take place live, every second Tuesday of each month, with special guests (sportsmen, writers, etc).

Thais Pessanha is a skateboarder, passionate about kayaking, surfing and addicted to books. He was born with a rare disease called Osteogenesis Imperfecta ("glass bones") and the dream of seeing a disabled person as the protagonist in the books gave rise to his fiction novel ON WHEELS - A SPIRIT IN MOVEMENT, which competed for the 6th Kindle Award for Literature.
His form of activism against ableism is through letters and the word.
