Asticman - To the Condition of Being Handicapped (Paperback)

This book gives a glimpse into Paul's world and thus into the mind and life of a severely handicapped person who could never do any of the tasks of daily living for himself. "Asticman" features some favorite writings from the first part of Paul's writing career. They give a candid picture of who Paul was and what it meant for him to deal with his handicap every day. The selections also show Paul's progression of writing from dialogue, narrative and poetry about his handicap to illustrating his experiences in school and college to gaining employment, travelling, dealing with his mother's death, and taking a stand on political causes, such as abortion. Paul has written in many different forms of expression, being a voice for the handicapped. He was very open about his life and his experiences and often very explicit. May you be inspired, enlightened and challenged, as many others have been - during Paul's lifetime, and beyond.
