i like the fuck you of it all. some of the analysis excited me when i read it as metaphorical, but i think he didn't mean it metaphorically and that kind of scares me. but also it's good to be scared. idk i need a reading group

i'm excited to read cruising utopia to see if munoz can tell me what i think about edelman. i just need someone else to clarify to me why i feel not great about some of this stuff

the person who reviewed this as essentially a "fuck you" to autobiography of red is actually just so so so unbelievably wrong i kind of can't believe that you could read this collection and take THAT from it. just because it's like a little more left field. a GORGEOUS companion piece to AoR, stands alone really well but holds some real beautiful mirrors up to its forebear if you're looking for that. its placement between AoR and H of H, when taken into consideration, makes it BRUTAL. some of her best work in this collection imo. gave me a nicotine rush just reading it.

Do people actually review this thing… Ummmm so so so impressive. Maybe the most impressive thing I've ever read. Will be so happy to never have to read it again. Last two pages as good as everyone says they will be for real… Maybe worth every exhausted flip from page-to-notes-to-page-to-notes solely for that last chapter. Yes dense and difficult and often like trudging through an actively hostile landscape but also has some true and viscerally devastating beauty to it. Go James! Why would you do that
