Couple of interesting points, but I found some of her arguments a bit sloppy and/or unconvincing at times. I don't think she really "stuck the landing" against the assumed neatness of categories/identification.

2.5 stars. Really struggled on how to rate this. Interesting ideas, but the literary analysis method really didn't work for me so I ended up skipping a few chapters. I kind of feel like this is the type of academic reading that's aimed at undergraduates who only want to read one chapter. But if that's the case, why not just make it a series of articles? I mean, I know why -- the author teaches English and that disciple values books over articles. And Madison has some really goofy-restrictive tenure requirements. I really wish publish or perish would die. Anyway, rounding up because I did learn new things/new ways of looking at things, and I always appreciate that. The whole biocertification thing was fascinating, even though the presentation was both disjointed and repetitive.

I read two articles from this book, but you can't just mark singular essays as read on goodreads ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
