Winner East Anglian Book of the Year 2022

In Iron Man, Lynne Bryan writes movingly and candidly about disability, the vulnerability of the body and mind, and the frailty and strength of our corporeality. She writes insightfully and thought-provokingly about the ways in which women's access to head space and the physical and economic space for creativity can be restricted or blocked - sometimes by the people they love best and who love them best; and, of course, sometimes by themselves.
