It’s a bummer that I am so very interested in the premise of this, but the dense academic writing, chock full of jargon, makes it nearly inaccessible. It’s especially a bummer that for someone purporting to “queer the narrative,” it’s impenetrable to those without the author’s credentials. I liked the bits I gleaned from it, particularly the compostocene (cf. Donna Haraway) and administrative violence (cf. David Graeber). I’m used to reading above my head, but this was one of the worst offenders in a while. I would have liked to like it more, had it not been written, as Graeber might say, for the cloistered elite. :/
