Reading the Feminist Impossible | 120 Coda | 125 Acknowledgments | 131 Notes | 133 Bibliography | 163 Index | 175Reviews"""Reading the Impossible is a real feminist breath of fresh air. At a time when devastating social disorientation and absolute subjective certainties go hand in hand and exist as two sides of the same neoliberal coin, Weed finds a way to successfully crack open this monolithic multiplicity. By reviving the conceptual and political significance of the impossible, she succeeds in presenting the latter as an affirmative and productive cause of critique rather than its limit. Not only does she argue that critique is still necessary, perhaps more so than ever, she also accomplishes a veritable coup of critique herself. Written in a wonderfully clear, engaging, and accessible style, Reading the Impossible proves to be an exciting, rewarding and stimulating book.""---Alenka Zupančič, author of Let Them Rot: Antigone's Paradox" Reading the Impossible is a real feminist breath of fresh air.
