Cristina Morales in conversation with artist Dora García: The inappropriate

“Easy Reading” by Cristina Morales has been defined as “a battle field: against white and monogamous heteropatriarchy; against institutional and capitalist rhetoric; against activism that uses the trappings of “the alternative” to prop up the status quo. But it is also a novel that celebrates the body and sexuality, and desire”. In the way it treats difference in a society that tends towards capitalist homogenisation, this story of four women with intellectual disabilities is as far as can be from an easy-going read. Morales doesn’t hide comfortably behind neutrality: she confronts the rhetoric of political correctness.
