Advance Praise for "Covert Aestheticism":
"Covert Aestheticism: Disability and 'Narrative Prosthesis' takes on a wily and elusive text ... With an assured voice, an energetic syntax, and word choice rigorous and precise, Aymon examines Stevenson's rendering of disability in this famously conjured tale. Aymon's attuned close reading joins his expert contextualizing and theorizing of the extraordinary body of Edward Hyde—rendered simultaneously ugly yet beautiful by the palimpsestic layers of stigma, deviance, and aestheticism." — Michael Arnush, Associate Dean of the Faculty for Student Academic Affairs, Skidmore College
