The Book as Literature
Understanding Differences and Developing Community
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time isn’t just a mystery story nor is it just about disability; it’s about books and what can be done with words. Join us as we discuss Mark Haddon’s book and listen to speakers from the community challenge our perception of disability and differences, of relationships and reality, and of communication and community.
