  Maggie
Nelson’s The Argonauts is 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. At its center is a
romance: the story of the author’s relationship with artist Harry Dodge. This story, which includes the
author’s account of falling in love with Dodge, who is fluidly gendered, as well as her journey to and through a
pregnancy, offers a firsthand account of the complexities and joys of (queer) family-making.
   
  Writing in
the spirit of public intellectuals like Susan Sontag and Roland Barthes, Nelson binds her personal experience to a
rigorous explPRAIoration of what iconic theorists have said about sexuality, gender, and the vexed institutions of
marriage and childrearing. Nelson’s insistence on radical individual freedom and the value of caretaking becomes
the rallying cry for this thoughtful, unabashed, uncompromising book.
  
  PRAISE
  "At once a
work in the tradition of surgical critics of self and art like Susan Sontag and in a category of writing entirely new,
The Argonauts promises to re-write the script for any of us struggling to nurture critical and intellectual practices in
the maelstrom of the everyday. This book is radical intelligence made manifest in the quotidian: a family album that
speaks what very few have had the audacity to name—intellectual, social, political, and intimate desires. . . .
If you want to think—or better yet, to imagine—in ways you never before thought possible, read this
book."
  —Brooklyn Quarterly 
  
  "A fluid mix of autobiographical writing and critical theory
that uses each to think about the other. . . . this book keeps building on itself with stories of sexual and
intellectual and maternal passion . . . There's gender fluidity, bodily fluids, the fluid nature of language, the ebb
and flow of life and death. But at its center is always love, its meaning ever renewed."
  —A.V Club
 

  "Maggie Nelson is arguably one of the best contemporary writers around."
  —Portland Mercury
 

  "This is a queer book in its softest heart, totally defiant and simultaneously full of love and a desire to
connect with the world. This might all sound esoteric but the book is solid as a fucking rock: you'll devour it and feel
it sitting beside you in a great, comforting way."
  —Electric Literature
  
  "Maggie Nelson cuts
through our culture's prefabricated structures of thought and feeling with an intelligence whose ferocity is ultimately
in the service of love. No piety is safe, no orthodoxy, no easy irony. The scare quotes burn off like fog."
 
—Ben Lerner
  
  “Reading Maggie Nelson’s The Argonauts helped me to feel some things
I’ve long thought about but hardly been able to express regarding the socialization of the maternal function,
which is the dispersed, dispersive essence of the futurity we present to one another until one is not another anymore.
There’s the violence I commit in making a claim for that futurity, and the violence I endure when that claim is
granted. There’s the exhaustive sharing that takes form as writing. There’s the ‘orgy of
specificity’ when the inexpressible is held and released in each expression ‘cause I just want to sing your
name even when I don’t want to sing your name. There’s the love story buried in every ‘I love
you,’ and in every ‘I love you’ there’s a contract for destruction and rebuilding.
There’s The Argonauts, which is one of the greatest books I’ve ever read.”
  —Fred
Moten
  
  “What a dazzlingly generous, gloriously unpredictable book! Maggie Nelson shows us what it
means to be real, offering a way of thinking that is as challenging as it is liberating. She invites us to ‘pay
homage to the transitive’ and enjoy ’a becoming in which one never becomes.’ Reading The Argonauts
made me happier and freer."
  —Eula Biss
  
  "In the 17th century a book like Maggie
Nelson’s The Argonauts might have been called an anatomy, by which I mean it’s a learned, quirky,
open-hearted, often beautiful naming-of-parts. The anatomy never forgets the fragile embodied world--its carnality or
its finitude. And such is The Argonauts: a memoir (debriefing, really) at once raw, pensive, exhilarating, sad, funny,
and embodied in the same profound way. Some of the memoirist’s topics are unprecedented. Merely by describing her
works and days, Nelson—like a kind of female Voltaire—could be said to wage staunch battle against the
as-yet-undead forces of banality, stupidity, prejudice, and moral sloth."
  —Terry Castle, author of The
Professor: A Sentimental Education
  
  “In The Argonauts, Maggie Nelson turns ‘making the
personal public’ into a romantic, intellectual wet dream. A gorgeous book, inventive, fearless, and full of
heart.”
  —Kim Gordon
  
  “The Argonauts takes us on a delicious journey into the
real life intimacies and intricacies of queer love, sex, literature, and motherhood. Maggie Nelson’s honesty,
intelligence, humor and great writing transform what society might deem a radical, non-traditional lifestyle into the
new desirable. A fucking gem of a book that touched and tickled all my sweet spots.”
  —Annie
Sprinkle
  
  "Towards the end of The Argonauts Maggie Nelson writes, 'I don't want to represent anything.'
But this book left me in tears. What I found in the pages were sentences like inside jokes, places where I felt held and
loved, acknowledged even. Maggie Nelson has dared to write the next queer anthem."
  —Jess Pane, Greenlight
Bookstore
  
  "Maggie Nelson, in everything I've seen of what she's written, has done so with an exacting,
seemingly fearless eye on whatever she writes about—cruelty, the color and notion of blue, various subjects taken
on in fiercely intelligent ways. In The Argonauts, she does this with herself, with such care and such abandon that the
intimacy engendered is more palpable than you'd think reading a book could be. Love, closeness, commitment, who is what
identity, pregnancy, birth, death—all of it written with dazzling thought—a mind that shines!—and
with such feeling."
  —Rick Simonson, Elliott Bay Book Company
  
  "Modern love, and with it life
and family, looks different than it used to. Or perhaps we’re just finally beginning to see what was always
there. The sacks of blood attending the removal of tissue that had separated one’s body from one’s self.
The syringes and thermometers that become new ways of measuring time. The looks, always the looks, of those who
misunderstand (at best) and disagree (too often) with who you are, let alone who you might love, and the laws that can
invite and impede you. In Maggie Nelson’s latest book, The Argonauts, she identifies a truth at turns painful and
hopeful: we, with our multi-formed and positioned pleasures, the directions and modes our loves take, and the languages
we use to speak or stay silent, are only ever just beginning. The deeply personal nature of Nelson’s writing is
tectonic, as she shifts between autobiography, poetry, and critical analysis in such a seamless way that the seismic
rumbles may not be immediately noticeable. Until, that is, you look up from your reading, and see that the landscape
around you has changed. The Argonauts will be a revelation for many who have never read Maggie Nelson, and a new
beginning for those who have."
  —Brad Johnson, Diesel, A Bookstore (Oakland, CA)
  
  "The
Argonauts is another brilliant book by one of my favorite authors. This book is important! And it is as full with
compassion and care for the human condition as it is with the creative, critical inquiry that Maggie Nelson displayed in
Art of Cruelty and her other books. I really enjoyed reading it."
  —Russell Brakefield, Literati Bookstore
(Ann Arbor, MI)
  
  "Once again, Maggie Nelson has created an awe-inspiring work, one that smartly calls
bullshit on the places culture—radical subcultures included—stigmatize and misunderstand both maternity
and queer family-making. With a fiercely vulnerable intelligence, Nelson leaves no area un-investigated, including her
own heart. I know of no other book like this, and I know how crucially the culture needs it.”
 
—Michelle Tea
  
  "There isn’t another critic alive like Maggie Nelson—who writes with
such passion, clarity, explicitness, fluidity, playfulness, and generosity that she redefines what thinking can do
today. Indeed, I come away from The Argonauts with a heady, excited sensation of having seen unveiled a new era of
embodied, soulful rumination. Her impeccable sentences destroy doxa and gleefully remake the body politic; her prose
seems air-borne, like an Argus-eyed levitator in touch with the divine. Buoyant, Nelson soars through art and philosophy
and her own experiences with reckless mastery and insurrectionary ease—a virtuosity born of deep reflection and
fearless trust in what literature, at its best, can do."
  —Wayne Koestenbaum
