Thoughts on Maggie Nelson?

>>9838207
never heard of her but she looks like a nasty milf alright. would bang after a winey date/10.

Her schtick is "autotheory"-- autobiographical theory.

Common themes include anal sex, violence against women, and gender.

She's married to a trans man and has one kid with him (her).

Not exactly /lit/'s cup of tea, but I'm curiois if anyone here has read her. Her last book "Argonauts" received a fair amount of praise

I'd like to give her some of my thoughts if you know what I mean

Wut

All are decent, but Art of Cruelty > Argonauts > Red Parts > Bluets. None of her stuff is super deep, but they are good appetizers between harder books.

she looks like a girl i used know. epic tits, awful personality. i assume it extrapolates.

she looks like someone with a very attractive sister
>>9838301
edgy
could probably be turned into a meme by a dedicated autist

Boner lost.

You mean she looks like an older less attractive Scarlett Johansson.

Her eyes are too far apart. She looks like a fucking bullfrog.

I had to read The Argonauts in college last semester. Most people seemed to like it, but to me the mix between autobiography and critical theory just made her come across as narcissistic and unlikeable.

>Later, from our Sheraton Sweet Sleeper® Bed, we ordered X-Men: First Class. Afterward we debated: assimilation vs. revolution. I’m no cheerleader for assimilation per se, but in the movie the assimilationists were advocating nonviolence and identification with the Other in that bastardized Buddhist way that gets me every time.

I've had Jane: The Murderer recommended to me quite a few times. I'll get round to reading it at some point.

>>9839979
Apologies, Jane: A Murder. Not "The Murderer," I'm not sure where that came from.

>>9839946
Wew, she writes some pretentious twaddle

>>9839946
That's fair criticism. It could be pedantic at times but at the same time I liked how earnest it was. You could tell she was really interested in defining her holistic "self." I read it once a few months back and don't have a fully formed opinion on it yet. I will say that it warrants a reread.

All of these are reasons as to why I was surprised to see this thread here in the first place. There probably isn't as much outright scorn in the comments right now because she isn't as well known as like a Junot Diaz, someone /lit/ hates.
