Reviews

'Among the sharpest and most supple thinkers of her generation' -- Olivia Laing ‘One of the most unique voices in non-fiction: enquiring, political, lyrically dazzling, empathetic’ -- Sinéad Gleeson ‘Always brilliant’ -- Geoff Dyer ‘Her words come as though from a great distance and strike incredibly close’ -- Anne Enright ‘Maggie Nelson shows us what it means to be real, offering a way of thinking that is as challenging as it is liberating’ -- Eula Biss ‘Maggie Nelson who writes with such passion, clarity, explicitness, fluidity, playfulness and generosity that she redefines what thinking can do today’ -- Wayne Koestenbaum In Pathemata, Nelson somehow manages to write with perfect emotional pitch: its melancholia balanced with humour, its moments of grief and pain tempered by joy. Full of warmth, wisdom and weirdness, it is bound to become a classic. I adored it -- Jenny Mustard
