A review by happysun
The Argonauts by Maggie Nelson

Did not finish book. Stopped at 14%.
Very intellectual and stream of consciousness to the point that it is extremely hard to follow. The beginning is about anal sex. I think for some people the description of Nelsons husband "fucking [them] in the ass" on the first page of an otherwise reflective/poetic/intellectual memoir makes the experience more avant-garde, especially when increasingly crass descriptors are used very repeatedly. I just found it jarring, irritating and uncomfortable. I couldn't get past it.
