The Art of Cruelty: A Reckoning by Maggie Nelson

a lot to think about -- i am grateful for nelson's clear prose and the space she invites us to play and reflect upon art and the world in: a third, more nuanced place beyond just black and white analysis. this book is just as much about humanity as it is creation, and nelson critiques with that knowledge thoughtfully at the forefront of her writing. highly recommend -- read this book to jump in, make your own decisions, and wrestle with her theories. i'll be thinking about these ideas for a long time.
