The Argonauts
Maggie Nelson
Explore the latest thinking about love, language, and family in this genre-bending memoir. The author's personal story of falling in love with a fluidly gendered artist and their journey to pregnancy offers a firsthand account of the complexities and joys of (queer) family-making. With the spirit of public intellectuals in mind, the author weaves together personal experience with rigorous exploration of sexuality, gender, and the institutions of marriage and child-rearing. Radically individual and uncompromising, this book is a rallying cry for freedom and caretaking.
