I think I‘d like someone smarter than me to read this and tell me about it. For me, it was like reading something in a language I only know a little bit of, where I catch snatches of meaning and inflection here and there but can‘t grasp even the gist of the whole. The chaotic language seems to perhaps underscore or enact a revolutionary radicalism, and there‘s a clear eroticism at work, but most of it went over my head.

Really cool collection dealing with queerness, capital, modernity, and filled with uncommon words.

The book feels very futuristic, as it delves into our current world of data and social media and the internet in general.

A couple poems at the end left me hollow, but everything preceding that has me fired up.

I read it twice, and also read a bunch of stuff about the author online. I love reading interviews following reading the book.

let‘s kill our authors
I love you centuries away won‘t you let me
I‘ll be your cathartic underdog
you with your raunchier than thou attitude
