This is an interesting text with many fascinating and radical ideas. Unfortunately it is written by Judith Butler.
This is a joke!! I understand and value the reasons behind their dense writing style: it leads to in-depth, profound analysis and unassailable arguments, in contrast with much of sociopolitical writing which is shallow and facile. But this doesn't change the fact that I had a hard time understanding their arguments and following the flow of their ideas much of the time.
I would recommend this book to anyone looking for alternatives to current trends in political dissent, but be prepared for a dense and academic read that does not hold your hand throughout.
