Whatever body you’re born into, the pressure to be normal is everywhere. But have you ever met a normal person? What do they look like? Where do they live? What do they eat for breakfast? What are they like as friends? And what does normal mean anyway?
If you grow up in a world where wrinkles are practically illegal, going bald is cause for a mental breakdown, and being oversize is being awkward, what on earth do you do if you are… gasp… disabled!?
Award-winning comedian and writer Francesca Martinez, who has accepted her cerebral palsy but prefers to describe herself as wobbly, is the author of What the **** is Normal?, a funny, personal, yet universal story of how she learned to stick two shaky fingers up to the crazy expectations of a world obsessed with being ‘normal’.
