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

5.0

this book, reading it right now, is making my brain explode. but explode-a-little-less, as suddenly things begin to make a vague sense. or to be joined in a choreography of vagueness. i'm currently engrossed in the depressing reality of how fleeting a satisfying activist life seems, and when i use the word activist its with the taken-for-granted idea that no part of myself and my intersections are left behind, i'm thinking of myself in the pat parker sense that one does. to live at that intersection is to have a frustrating relationship to time. i feel beset by thick heavy presences in absentia, doomed to relive the past, all that hauntology shit. reading this book is making me feel closer to irretrievable social loss. blah...
