Reviews

“Negative Life is a major work of critical analysis whose challenge to the pastoralizing tendency of certain ecocritical theorists should have the paradoxical effect of enlivening the field.” —Lee Edelman, author of Bad Education: Why Queer Theory Teaches Us Nothing  “Enormously inventive, polemical, and lucidly written.” —Jacques Khalip, author of Disastrous Form from Kant to Hujar
