Description
Maggie Nelson's The Argonauts is a genre-bending memoir that explores the complexities of love, identity, and family-making. At its center is a romance that spans the author's relationship with an artist who embodies fluidity of gender, as well as her journey to and through a pregnancy. This book binds personal experience to a rigorous exploration of what iconic theorists have said about sexuality, gender, and the institutions of marriage and child-rearing. Nelson's insistence on radical individual freedom and the value of caretaking becomes a rallying cry for this thoughtful and unabashed book. Through a nuanced exploration of desire, identity, and the limitations and possibilities of love and language, Nelson offers a fresh and fierce perspective on what it means to build a family and forge a life of one's own.
