A review by meganmilks
Estrangement Principle by Ariel Goldberg

5.0

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.
