The Argonauts: A Musical Exploration of Greek Mythology

Josephine: I highly recommend reading anything by Maggie Nelson, just do not buy this book from Amazon right now. They have editions that have an enormous misprint and it is VERY irritating that there is not an option to just get my back. I am a reader who underlines and makes notes in the margins of the books I read and cannot now return the book. I am going to contact Graywolf Press and hope they will send me another copy printed correctly. Amazon, I need your customer service to contact me regarding this error, that is if a representative actually sees and reads this. Very disappointed.

Matthew PoppMatthew Popp: FANTASTIC book. Maggie Nelson writes candidly and fiercely about what it means to be queer, to be a family, and to be human. I cannot recommend this book enough. HOWEVER, the book I ordered and received from Amazon was printed incorrectly, with pages missing and ordered incorrectly. I would highly recommend buying this book elsewhere(Read: Support a local bookstore!)

Jessica W.: Awesome book! Came brand new and it's such a good read. The subject matter is blunt and poetic in such a beautiful way. I feel like members of any community can benefit from this read.

EZ: It was a bit confusing because apparently the author's wife goes by he him pronouns and underwent medical transition but identifies as female and butch still. I actually am of the exact same identity profile and I know he/him lesbians are a thing, but I still did not understand what was going on, and I dunno if she's purposely messing with the reader or what because there aren't any context clues. This book is largely about the author's relationship, so that makes it confusing. She talks about straight women loving her husband and being strange, so that's confusing – – like why wouldn't a straight woman be attracted to a man. But then it turns out he doesn't identify as a man. I don't know, maybe I'm too hung up on this or it's because I have autism, but I found it overly Cryptic even though I am from within the trans community. However there were many parts that hit me really deeply and I think this is really personal layered complicated and beautiful.

Amazon Customer: This was a book assigned to me for a woman's sexuality & their bodies course. I found it to be somewhat difficult to understand. I had to look up various words in order to follow along with the story.

Vergnügen ihren Gedankengängen zu folgen! Sehr anregend und bereichernd, auch für meinen englischen Wortschatz;-)
Und wie erfrischend undogmatisch!

Leif Quinlan: I loved this book. I won't say anything so daft as "I feel like I know Maggie Nelson..." but I will say that I feel like I know exactly what she wants me to know about her. The list of mentions concerning her honesty and her biographical style is long and I certainly don't have a qualm with that opinion; however, what struck me most was her intimacy. Not simply the intimacy of the shared details, but the intimacy of the style of the "log" so-to-speak. The book is written as a log of a slice of her life and though the details are the vehicle, the fragmentary thoughts - time, location, train-of-thought, &c. - are the real message and they include the reader in a way that feels very intimate while also being pensive enough to remind that reader that it is a labor rather than an extended share-session
Impressive work - I hope many other men are taking it up
