Why is it important?
The review promotes the invaluable contribution of Talley's book to scholarship on disability and difference, particularly in terms of disfigurement and the human face.
Perspectives
The review hopes to reveal to readers how Talley's book is a brilliant detailed study of Western attitudes towards disfigurement and how this attitude permeates throughout western culture and impacts on the lives of those who are othered due to physical difference.
