Got me thinking about celebrity culture, the social model of disability, how our bodies are inextricable from our identities, the ways that narratives come together and create their own reality, and the history of the picaresque.
I think Fevvers should go up there with Bartleby as an example of how social refusal can work towards possibly revolutionary ends.
