A review by grace_mae
The Unspeakable Girl by Giorgio Agamben

Not sure about this one. I admit I'm not a classicist, but I do have an art history degree and a long standing interest in mystery cults. I've also had productive experiences with other classicist's essays like Ann Carson's Gender of Sound, so i was initially optimistic. I appreciate the illustrations and source material included in the book, but I don't think the argument itself was very fleshed out at all. There seemed to be large absences and unexplained connection  between thoughts - might work as poetry, but far less so as an essay.
