Bluets by Maggie Nelson
2.0

joni mitchell did it better


2/5 - there were parts of this that i really liked (the blue correspondences, her searching for blues in the world), parts that kind of undermined nelson’s own prose (near-constant quotations of others more complex than her when it comes to philosophy), and parts that were so out of left field and very evidently put there so nelson could use the word “fucking” as often as possible (we get it, you’re upset and incredibly horny)

overall i thought the concept interesting but the execution underwhelming
