Infos

A CAREER-SPANNING COLLECTION OF INSPIRING, REVELROUS ESSAYS ABOUT ART AND ARTISTS'Like Love may be one of the most movingly specific, the most lovingly unruly celebrations of the ethics of friendship we have' Guardian'Incisive, smart and witty, it will leave you looking and love and life anew' iLike Love is a momentous, raucous collection of essays drawn from twenty years of Maggie Nelson s brilliant work. These profiles, reviews, remembrances, tributes and critical essays, as well as several conversations with friends and idols, bring to life Nelson s passion for dialogue and dissent. The range of subjects is wide from Prince to Carolee Schneemann to Kara Walker to Bjork but certain themes recur: intergenerational exchange; love and friendship; feminist and queer issues, especially as they shift over time; subversion, transgression and perversity; and the fruits and follies of a life spent devoted to making.The collection is a portrait of a time, an anarchic party rich with wild guests, a window into Nelson s own development as a writer, and a testament to the profound sustenance offered by art and artists. Maggie Nelson is one of the most unique voices in non-fiction: enquiring, political, lyrically dazzling, empathetic Sin ad Gleeson
