Blue Light Book Club: The Argonauts

For our March book club, we are discussing The Argonauts by Maggie Nelson.  

An intrepid voyage out to the frontiers of the latest thinking about love, language, and family

Maggie Nelson'sThe Argonautsis a genre-bending memoir, a work of autotheory offering fresh, fierce, and timely thinking about desire, identity, and the limitations and possibilities of love and language. It binds an account of Nelson's relationship with her partner and a journey to and through a pregnancy to a rigorous exploration of sexuality, gender, and family. An insistence on radical individual freedom and the value of caretaking becomes the rallying cry for this thoughtful, unabashed, uncompromising book.
