matthewwester's review against another edition
4.0
There's a lot to like about this book but be warned, it's dense. Sometimes overly so. McHugh loves to mess with language so often sentences break down a bit and you'll have to retrace, or suspend, or bifurcate your thoughts as you're following the book's arguments. She covers a lot in 136 pages; I especially enjoyed her studies of Yoruba poetry and the work of Paul Celan [though what a depressing end!].
It would be fun to hear McHugh lecture.

Reread. McHugh writes and thinks beautifully! Sometimes the writing feels oblong, or not straightforward.
