On Literary Criticism, Disability & Building a Literary Education

A Conversation with Author AIDEN HUNT

Exploring literature, the arts, and the creative process connects me to the literary community. As a disabled person, it’s important for me to feel like my life has some purpose to it other than quotidian inanity. The arts and humanities are that purpose for me. After years of being unable to work and being unhappy, I decided to read my way to a literary education, even though I never graduated high school. It isn’t exactly like I imagined as a child, but I’m living my dream of contributing to the artistic landscape with my writing.
