Offering readings of a range of fictional and biographical texts,
including work by Richard Selzer, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Gaston
Leroux, Willa Cather, Natalie Kusz, and Lucy Grealy, this book
examines reactions to facially disfigured people on the basis of
Emmanuel Levinas' ethics of the face. Drawing on Levinas' concern
with the holistic dimension of the face as an encounter with the
other's "whole person" and the sense of moral obligation that this
instils in us-a sense that disfigurement disrupts by drawing our
attention to the disfigurement as a "spectacle" and threatening to
limit our view of that individual-the author explores how we react
to the facially disfigured and how we ought to react.
