In coversation; Lee Kofman on IMperfect

By the time she was eleven, Lee Kofman had undergone several major operations on both a defective heart and injuries sustained in a bus accident. Her body harbours a constellation of disfiguring scars that have shaped her sense of self and her view of the world.
In a captivating mix of memoir and cultural critique, Kofman casts a questioning eye on the myths surrounding our conception of physical perfection and what it’s like to live in a body that deviates from the norm. Illuminating, confronting and deeply personal, Imperfect challenges us all to consider how we exist in the world.
