Every now and again an edited volume comes along and sets a new agenda for a field. This absolutely dazzling piece of scholarship is precisely such a landmark contribution. Encountering the scrambled landscape of gay life in the post-Obergefell world while grappling with the new possibilities for commitment made possible by the legalization of gay marriage, Long Term is a truly original and outstanding work. -- Benjamin Kahan, author of * The Book of Minor Perverts: Sexology, Etiology, and the Emergences of Sexuality * The essays in Long Term enter the quotidian realm of queer commitments not to settle scores with the outsized celebration of antinormativity that writes the political into prerecorded narratives of heroic refusal, but to inhabit the small acts and minor tempos that compose the work, anxiety, and yes even the pleasure of ordinary endurance. Lushly descriptive and wholly engaging, this collection is both a living document and a critically nuanced guide to the persistence of queer commitments. -- Robyn Wiegman, author of * Object Lessons *
