A review by lizawall
Testo Junkie: Sex, Drugs, and Biopolitics in the Pharmacopornographic Era by Paul B. Preciado

5.0

A long time ago one of my teachers told me it wasn't enough just to write a love song to Foucault, you had to actually build on him, and I was like come on that's impossible, but Preciado totally does it here. And that is only one of several ways this book blew my mind. Crazy compelling, it is a sex/drug/philosophy page turner that will keep you up late and make you wonder if you should take testosterone too.

Before I read this, I was going to go see her at NYU but I spent so much time eating falafel and EVERY LAST sweet potato fry that I didn't get there until it was already full. Wish I had ditched some of those fries because, I feel like I have to know what she is doing NOW -- this book was already out for awhile before it was translated, and what will the next be?
