Description
A vibrant and eclectic collection of essays, conversations, and reflections from Maggie Nelson's twenty-year career. Like Love brings together profiles, reviews, tributes, and critical essays, as well as discussions with friends and idols, showcasing Nelson's passion for dialogue and dissent. The range of subjects is diverse, spanning artists, musicians, and thinkers, but certain themes recur: the power of intergenerational exchange, love and friendship, feminist and queer issues, and the role of criticism in relation to art. Arranged chronologically, Like Love offers a unique window into Nelson's own development as a writer and thinker. This collection is a testament to the sustenance offered by art and artists, providing a portrait of a time and an anarchic party rich with wild guests.
