The Argonauts: A Salon in Honor of Maggie Nelson
ABOUT THE EVENT
In her widely acclaimed memoir, The Argonauts, Maggie Nelson writes, “There is much to be learned from wanting something both ways.” Defying traditional genres, Nelson powerfully weaves theory into a narrative of queer relations and family-making, juxtaposing such supposed opposites as transgressive and normative politics, reproductive and sodomitical motherhood, intellectual and domestic life to tell a different kind of story. BCRW’s sixth annual book salon celebrates Nelson’s remarkable exploration of intimacy, writing, and life-making.
Maggie Nelson will be joined in conversation by Christina Crosby, Saidiya Hartman, Sam Huber, and Heather Love.
This event is free and open to the public.
