Pop Song: Adventures in Art & Intimacy by Larissa Pham
5.0
Such a beautiful and timely book on longing, desire, love, and romance. It comes at a time where hook-up culture is the norm for physical intimacy and Larissa Pham captures not just the emptiness but the desperation that comes with fucking for the sake of fucking and hooking up. In that, it has created such an unsurpassable want for someone to really love you and care for you. All of which Larissa Pham writes about and also reflects on the work of other artists and how they have captured such emotions.
She also captures the intimate details of breaking up, and longing even though you're with someone, which I feel like a lot of people haven't written about honestly.
Where I could find a semblance of annoyance is wondering if she's projecting based on her idea of what a writer and artist should be writing about and feeling. I highly recommend because it's a tender take on intimacy, love, relationships, and all done with a graceful analyses of other artists and their work. Very beautiful.
