nothing compares to an intelligent woman revealing what she finds sexy and bewildering among all things. i’ve never encountered such a thrilling perspective on the usually normalized maternity/child bearing, exhausting but exhilarating to read
Can’t stop reading, GGG “"good in bed, giving equal time and equal pleasure," and "game for anything within reach. If you are expected to be monogamous and have one person be all things sexually for you, then you have to be whores for each other," Savage says. "You have to be up for anything"
最打动我的大概是她本科时与她心目中理想的intellectual mother Christina Crosby的互动。讲到Crosby这位一辈子在解构身分的帅气Butch，在身分问题上被一群爱她、但又拥抱女性身分、拥抱基于身分的女性主义传统的学生所羞辱。理论与经验、私人与公共、结构与解构的互动在这则逸事中表现得很透彻。师生交互也说明了autobiography和autotheory的价值：auto并不意味着自我沉溺，而是对相依而生的关系性的投入，是一个邀请的手势，邀请他人加入自身所处的空间与传统。
“Once I suggested that I had written half a book drunk, the other half sober. Here I estimate that about nine-tenths of the words in this book were written “free,” the other one-tenth, hooked up to a hospital-grade breast pump: words piled into one machine, milk siphoned out by another.” 太坦诚了
despite the lyrical bending of time, the narrative has a clear teleology, from theory talks to the personal, ending with a warm and glorious climax of a child birth. but for her, this is a teleology without a point, a maternality with all its messiness, confusion, and irresolvable pains and pleasures

好看 Maggie Nelson的书有种絮絮叨叨神经质但就是想继续读的感觉。Bluets是，这本也是 从精神分析和性别的角度入手的不能被定义为自传的自传。讲述自己和从女性变为男性的伴侣Harry的故事，以及Harry母亲去世和他们借精生的孩子的降临。最后的死亡和新生，是种轮回

Nice book. Tender, moving, and illuminating, but not exactly in the form that engages me the most.

之前鲜少读关于maternity和motherhood的讨论，从这些主题中大受启发；另外，many-gendered mother这个词引介得太好了！

Queer culture之类的是真的不懂；但她文字的节奏太好了，metaphor呀allusion呀信手拈来，有些东西绞尽脑汁也未必看得懂，然而凡是能看懂的都惊为天人 - 尤其是关于the unsayable的内容相当酷。

命名autotheory并将这一文类推入主流文学视野的作品。最精彩的或许是关于queering maternity的论述以及由此展开的对anti/non/normativity的反思。书中并置作者/叙述者的孕期身体与伴侣Harry Dodge性别过渡中的身体，可与Harry本人2020年出版的My Meteorite对读。
