Flid

'Flid' is the story of a man born without arms and legs– a thalidomide survivor – who actively rejects the assumptions of a disablingsociety.A moving, anarchic – and often comic – account of the earlylife and education of Kevin Donnellon, Flid follows his first tentativesteps into the workplace, his gradual politicisation and the varied romanticrelationships that he haplessly pursues.An ebullient and optimistic force, it is only when Kevin –now a mature student – meets his soul mate (at university) that he starts toreassess a condition that he has long come to accept (and to question what hehas any right to hope for).
