Maggie Nelson

"De una honestidad implacable, en esta memoria y a la vez ensayo, Maggie Nelson narra su singular y entrañable historia de amor con Harry Dogde, un artista transgénero, y cómo, en un contexto donde aun se debate la ley de union civil entre homosexuales, intentan construir juntos una familia. En la tradicion de intelectuales como Susan Sontag y Roland Barthes, Nelson entrelaza su propia experiencia con la teoria iconica, para explorar distintas construcciones culturales en torno a las nociones de identidad, sexualidad, genero, maternidad y matrimonio. Una de las mas electrificantes escritoras norteamericanas de hoy []. Fusionando lo que en otras manos podrian ser aridas teorias o confesiones sensibleras, Nelson crea un vigoroso lenguaje.

En línea con la tradición de Susan Sontag y Elaine Scarry, Maggie Nelson se ha convertido en una de las principales críticas culturales con este ensayo sobre las representaciones de la crueldad y la violencia en el arte. Desde la poesia de Sylvia Plath hasta las pinturas de Francis Bacon, desde la franquicia de Saw hasta las performances de Yoko Ono o Marina Abramovic, desde el teatro de Antonin Artaud hasta las instalaciones de Santiago Sierra o Ana Mendieta, el sutil recorrido de Nelson a traves del paisaje artistico ofrece un modelo de como unas ferreas convicciones eticas se pueden conjugar con una defensa igualmente vigorosa del arte que pone a prueba los limites del buen gusto, el tabu y lo tolerable.

A groundbreaking memoir that offers fresh and fierce reflections on motherhood, desire, gender, identity and feminism.At the centre of The Argonauts is the love story between Maggie Nelson and the artist Harry Dodge, who is fluidly gendered. As Nelson undergoes the transformations of pregnancy, she explores the challenges and complexities of mothering and queer family making.Writing in the tradition of public intellectuals like Susan Sontag, Nelson uses arresting prose even as she questions the limits of language. The Argonauts is an intrepid voyage out to the frontiers of love, language, and family.

Selected as a Book of the Year 2017 in the GuardianMaggie Nelsons short, singular books feel pretty light in the hand... But in the head and the heart, they seem unfathomably vast, their cleverness and odd beauty lingering onObserverIn 1969, Jane Mixer, a first-year law student at the University of Michigan, posted a note on a student noticeboard to share a lift back to her hometown of Muskegon for spring break. She never made it: she was brutally murdered, her body found a few miles from campus the following day.The Red Parts is Maggie Nelsons singular account of her aunt Janes death, and the trial that took place some 35 years afterward. Officially unsolved for decades, the case was reopened in 2004 after a DNA match identified a new suspect, who would soon be arrested and tried. In 2005, Nelson found herself attending the trial, and reflecting with fresh urgency on our relentless obsession with violence, particularly against women. Resurrecting her interior world during the trial in all its horror, grief, obsession, recklessness, scepticism and downright confusion Maggie Nelson has produced a work of profound integrity and, in its subtle indeterminacy, deadly moral precision.

A dazzling work of philosophy and personal reflection. In this bold, invigorating book, Maggie Nelson examines freedom in four arenas of modern life: creative expression, sexuality, substance use and the fight for environmental survival. Weaving literary criticism, memoir and cultural analysis, she invites readers to rethink what liberation can look like amid moral complexity.On Freedom is at once intellectual and intimate a conversation across art and activism, reason and desire. One of the most important voices in contemporary thought, Nelson offers a vision of freedom rooted in empathy, curiosity and care.Tremendously energising Guardian Nelson is such a friend to her reader, such brilliant company Literary Review

A CAREER-SPANNING COLLECTION OF INSPIRING, REVELROUS ESSAYS ABOUT ART AND ARTISTSLike Love may be one of the most movingly specific, the most lovingly unruly celebrations of the ethics of friendship we haveGuardianIncisive, smart and witty, it will leave you looking and love and life anewiLike Love is a momentous, raucous collection of essays drawn from twenty years of Maggie Nelsons brilliant work. These profiles, reviews, remembrances, tributes and critical essays, as well as several conversations with friends and idols, bring to life Nelsons passion for dialogue and dissent. The range of subjects is wide from Prince to Carolee Schneemann to Kara Walker to Bjork but certain themes recur: intergenerational exchange; love and friendship; feminist and queer issues, especially as they shift over time; subversion, transgression and perversity; and the fruits and follies of a life spent devoted to making.The collection is a portrait of a time, an anarchic party rich with wild guests, a window into Nelsons own development as a writer, and a testament to the profound sustenance offered by art and artists.Maggie Nelson is one of the most unique voices in non-fiction: enquiring, political, lyrically dazzling, empathetic Sinead Gleeson

Before Maggie Nelsons name became synonymous with such genre-defying, binary-slaying writing as The Argonauts and The Art of Cruelty, this collection of poetry introduced readers to a singular voice in the making: exhilarating, fiercely vulnerable, intellectually curious, and one of a kind.These days/the world seems to split up/into those who need to dredge/and those who shrug their shoulders/and say, Its just something/that happened.While Maggie Nelson refers here to a polluted urban waterway, the Gowanus Canal, these words could just as easily describe Nelsons incisive approach to desire, heartbreak, and emotional excavation in Something Bright, Then Holes. Whether writing from the debris-strewn shores of a contaminated canal or from the hospital room of a friend, Nelson charts each emotional landscape she encounters with unparalleled precision and empathy. Since its publication in 2007, the collection has proven itself to be both a record of a singular vision in the making as well as a timeless meditation on love, loss, andperhaps most frightening of allfreedom.
