LIKE LOVE - MAGGIE NELSON GEBUNDEN

A CAREER-SPANNING COLLECTION OF INSPIRING  REVELROUS ESSAYS ABOUT ART AND ARTISTS 'Like Love
may be one of the most movingly specific  the most lovingly unruly celebrations of the ethics
of friendship we have' Guardian 'A polyphonic assemblage . . . graceful and aesthetic  deftly
crossing boundaries and definitions  a concordant symphony' Irish Times Like Love is a
momentous  raucous collection of essays drawn from twenty years of Maggie Nelson's brilliant
work. These profiles  reviews  remembrances  tributes and critical essays  as well as several
conversations with friends and idols  bring to life Nelson's passion for dialogue and dissent.
The range of subjects is wide - from Prince to Carolee Schneemann to Matthew Barney to Lhasa de
Sela to Kara Walker - but certain themes recur: intergenerational exchange  love and friendship
feminist and queer issues  especially as they shift over time  subversion  transgression and
perversity  the roles of the critic and language in relation to visual and performance arts 
forces that feed or impede certain bodies and creators  and the fruits and follies of a life
spent devoted to making. Arranged chronologically  Like Love shows the writing  thinking 
feeling  reading  looking and conversing that occupied Nelson while writing iconic books such
as Bluets and The Argonauts. As such  it is a portrait of a time  an anarchic party rich with
wild guests  a window into Nelson's own development and a testament to the profound sustenance
offered by art and artists.
