Cruising Utopia: The Then and There of Queer Futurity by José Esteban Muñoz

informative medium-paced

4.0

the introduction and chapter 1 were absolutely fantastic and interesting. unfortunately the rest of the book sort of felt like a tangent? it was very well written but i often felt while reading like there was a first book i was supposed to have read before this one. the author claims grandiosely many times about the failures of pragmatic queer movements with a take that gay marriage is bad yet never actually explains why this is the case. every other chapter was just a vague (though interesting) retelling of some niche queer history from the 60s and maybe a paragraph at the end which actually contextualized it; unsurprisingly those were my favorite parts. an interesting read for sure
