Like Love

Resumen del libro

A CAREER-SPANNING COLLECTION OF INSPIRING, REVELROUS ESSAYS ABOUT ART AND ARTISTS
Like Love may be one of the most movingly specific, the most lovingly unruly celebrations of the ethics of friendship we have GuardianLike Love is a momentous, raucous collection of essays drawn from twenty years of Maggie Nelsons brilliant work. These profiles, reviews, remembrances, tributes and critical essays, as well as several conversations with friends and idols, bring to life Nelsons passion for dialogue and dissent. The range of subjects is wide - from Prince to Carolee Schneemann to Matthew Barney to Lhasa de Sela to Kara Walker - but certain themes recur: intergenerational exchange love and friendship feminist and queer issues, especially as they shift over time subversion, transgression and perversity the roles of the critic and language in relation to visual and performance arts forces that feed or impede certain bodies and creators and the fruits and follies of a life spent devoted to making.Arranged chronologically, Like Love shows the writing, thinking, feeling, reading, looking and conversing that occupied Nelson while writing iconic books such as Bluets and The Argonauts. As such, it is a portrait of a time, an anarchic party rich with wild guests, a window into Nelsons own development and a testament to the profound sustenance offered by art and artists.Like Love is a portrait of a time, an anarchic party rich with wild guests, a window into Nelsons own development as a writer, and a testament to the profound sustenance offered by art and artists.Maggie Nelson is one of the most unique voices in non-fiction: enquiring, political, lyrically dazzling, empathetic.
