Monsters: a key motif, and a symbol of Disability
It's basically a rewriting of this post, from February 10, but with less explicit "RAWR!" at the medical-industrial complex, and more "and this is how it shows up in stories!" For several long minutes, though, I was tempted to go off on an anti-Jerry Lewis rant (another thing I loved about the animaniacs: those sibs were always whacking him on the head with giant mallets). Instead, I just alluded to telethons in general.
I now want to find an etext version of "The Romance of Aesop," which is a First Century story about the storyteller, of no single author. However, all I keep finding are sites that talk about it, but never actually quote it.
Humph.
