mandypchu 's review for:
The Argonauts
by Maggie Nelson
I couldn't finish this book. I only gave it 2 stars because I like that the author tackled such a timely take on the new idea of family.
I *may* have enjoyed it more if I hadn't listened to it. It was narrated by the author, and her monotone reading was off-putting. She's writing/reading about her family and there was absolutely NO feeling. However, I also did not love her writing style. She quotes other authors, A LOT. So much so, that it's hard to keep up with the thread of what she was originally talking about. It felt many times like she was reveling in her own literary knowledge.
