Fiction books that portray stuttering -Black Swan Green by David Mitchell - written by a stutterer, very real portrayal, and overall an amazing book. I don’t always love his attitude about stuttering but that’s okay. -The Purple Hibiscus - a really realistic portrayal imo -The World According to Garp- very unrealistic- just normal speech with a bunch of stutters thrown in - doesn’t show any deep understanding of it -Dragonfly in Amber- the second Outlander book- fairly realistic, although the main characters have an infantilizing attitude What are some other ones??
