I Live a Life Like Yours: A Memoir by Jan Grue
5.0
Diffficult to write about this very personal story by Jan Grue published in Norway and won awards in 2018 and just recently english translation. The honesty and straightforward thinking and writing by this young man it blows me away far away.
Jan Grue has had from childhood a muscular damage atrophy not sure what actually is his diagnosis. He speaks as someone who couldnt do what a child should do wants to do run stretch and he is able to walk and there is here one description of how he gets up from chair with his wife to get water. Jan is a Professor (not sure what subject)a husband a father a son a friend a writer. He has manual and electric wheelchair. He lets readers know about the life of this man and it is all said all written. He regrets his regrets are that the world doesnt allow for someone like him doesnt allow for the wheelchair and so he has taken these years to write about being him being himself and being him and being himself in the world as it is. He has traveled and studied at UC Berkeley for a year and really liked California (where I live). He talks about being a father and his very young son who can run.
This book should give each reader an opportunity to be more conscious
