Not All Superheroes Wear Capes
Summary from Goodreads
Quentin Kenihan is living proof that superheroes don't need capes, just the right attitude. FOREWORD BY RAY MARTIN
When he was a kid, Quentin Kenihan loved Superman. Ironic, really. Quentin didn't need kryptonite to reveal his weakness - born with a rare bone disorder, osteogenesis imperfecta, his bones broke all on their own.
When Quentin was seven, Mike Willesee made a documentary about him. Australians fell in love with his wit, and never-say-die attitude. Over the years he grew up before our eyes. But there was a dark side to his life. The true story was never told ... until now. A story of abandonment, drug addiction, dark days and thoughts of suicide. Battling through it all, Quentin's resilience is inspiring.
Quentin is now determined to live life the best he can. Just turned 41, he is a filmmaker, stand-up comedian, radio host, actor and film critic; he's hung out with Angelina, accidentally ripped Jennifer Lopez's dress, talked sex with Jean-Claude Van Damme, appeared in MAD MAX and interviewed Julia Gillard, all the while showing that living in a wheelchair doesn't mean staying still.
This is an unforgettable, brutally honest, at times heartbreaking memoir. Quentin Kenihan is living proof that superheroes don't need capes, just the right attitude!

Caddyshack Review
Quentin Kenihan was a man like no other. Born with a rare condition Osteogenesis Imperfecta, he could and would literally break. This autobiography is equal parts tear jerker as he reveals the internal struggles he faced and laugh out loud funny as he takes you on a journey of jokes and nude events. The self referred “inspirational porn star” once discussed his sex life with non other than Jean-Claude Van Damme and is famously known for his nude interview on Big Brother uncut. Quentin’s passing in 2018 left a big gap in the disability advocacy space, but his legacy lives on. A heartwarming book. “ I started with nothing and yet I never backed down until I achieved what I wanted in life”
