Description

A career spanning collectionof inspiring,revelrousessays about artand artists.

Like 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.
