a publié une critique de Blackouts par Justin Torres

the queerness of narrative and language

Aucune note

I love what this book does with both historical material and with storytelling. Sometimes I leave novels based on actual historical events wondering why a novelization or fictional approach is necessary, but this book both taught me something I didn't about Jan Gay and also reminded me how queer communication is...how true communication never hits the mark, never reveals itself, never lands.
