A searing, imaginative memoir that pairs two stories, the author's budding self-realization and the race to formulate the theory of evolution. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

Excerpt from my review:
Disability is all about adaptation. That's not news to me. As performance artist Neil Marcus has said, "Disability is an art—an ingenious way to live." It's improv, sometimes all day long, when out in the public environment built primarily for nondisabled folks. I suspect that's not news to most disabled people either.
But Kenny Fries' newest book, The History of My Shoes and the Evolution of Darwin's Theory, combines musings on adaptation and the life and science of Charles Darwin with personal memoir and travel diary in unique and thoughtful ways. One thing Fries notes, particularly in regard to Darwin and his success as a scientist, is that interdependence (and sometimes dependence) is a natural part of human interaction and achievement.
