About the book >.>.> Clearly and queerly enough they share a relaxed unseparatist hypothesis of the much to be gained by refraining from a priori oppo- sitions between queer texts (or authors) and non-queer ones or female ones and male. In fact the list of damaging a priori oppositions to which these essays quietly collectively find alternative approaches is very im- pressive: the authors transmit new ways of knowing that human beings are also machines are also animals; that an ethic or aesthetic of truthtell- ing need not depend on any reified notion of truth; that the materiality of human bodies of words and of economic production may misrepresent but cannot simply eclipse one another; that pleasure grief excitement boredom satisfaction are the substance of politics rather than their an- tithesis; that affect and cognition are not very distant processes; that visual perception need not be conceptually isolated from the other four bodily senses; that gender differentiation is crucial to human experience but in no sense coextensive with it; that it’s well to attend intimately to literary texts.
