I’m reading Judith Halberstam’s In a Queer Time & Place: Transgender Bodies, Subcultural Lives. (I’ve decided to allow myself one non-school assigned reading at a time.) I’m about half way through and I’m loving it, but I’ll write about it as a whole once I’m finished. In it, Halberstam quotes from Anne Carson’s Economy of the Unlost (also on my reading list). Carson writes, [...]
