We the Parasites by A.V. Marraccini

challenging informative medium-paced

4.0

This book is one of those little ones that straddle critique and memoir. I enjoy these types of books, since they weave theory with the experience of living in our human bodies. However, these books really tend to live or die on my interest in the object of critique. In this case, I like the Illiad, I enjoyed learning more about Twombly, but I am not interested in Updike. The Updike sections didn't require deep understanding of the work for my reading, so I was able to engage with the central discussion of criticism as a queer, parasitic art form.
