Like Love is a momentous, raucous collection of essays drawn from
twenty years of Maggie Nelson’s brilliant work. These profiles,
reviews, remembrances, tributes and critical essays, as well as several
conversations with friends and idols, bring to life Nelson’s passion
for dialogue and dissent. The range of subjects is wide – from Prince
to Carolee Schneemann to Kara Walker to Bjork – but certain themes
recur: intergenerational exchange; love and friendship; feminist and
queer issues, especially as they shift over time; subversion,
transgression and perversity; and the fruits and follies of a life
spent devoted to making.
The collection is a portrait of a time, an anarchic party rich with
wild guests, a window into Nelson’s own development as a writer, and a
testament to the profound sustenance offered by art and artists.
