The Argonauts
Nelson braids memoir and theory around queer family-making, pregnancy, and a love affair with a fluidly gendered partner.
Maggie Nelson’s genre-defying book braids memoir with critical theory around her relationship with the fluidly gendered artist Harry Dodge, her own pregnancy, and the making of a queer family. She writes about bodies, language and love with startling precision, refusing easy conclusions. It won the National Book Critics Circle Award for criticism. Emma Watson selected it for Our Shared Shelf in May 2016.
