The Art of Cruelty: A Reckoning by Maggie Nelson

3.0

I think there were times when Maggie was speaking about things she didn’t understand, and that got in the way. Also her prose is sometimes inscrutable. Also white cis feminist criticism makes me REALLY wary.

In other ways though, a super interesting read, and I feel like I learned a good amount. It was cool.

I’m left with ambivalent feelings, which Maggie would argue, is probably cool and good and fine.
