when i started this i thought it was trying too hard to be fake academic and i am very invested in queer as an identity/art category so some of the arguments were a little hard for me but by the time it got to crying at an audre lorde documentary i was in love.

I found myself arguing and agreeing with this book. Some spots were very offputting as a bit policing of what is "queer art" but overall, a very well-written book by a sincere writer who is if not necessarily looking for answers then just looking and observing. If you're queer get this book. If you're not then get it even sooner.

I love the cultural and aesthetic archive that comes alive in this book, which spans a range of mostly very recent contemporary queer art and literature. I'm not that exercised by the problem of the word "queer" (but of course the word describes people like me and work like mine pretty readily without much complication); that said, I was impressed by how Goldberg uses the question in its various iterations to organize a book so devoted to queer culture and community. Loved the part about Goldberg performing as a camp Kay Ryan in particular, LOL and the reading of Renee Gladman is terrific too.
