Negative Positive
Title: Subversively accessible queer thought
Review: Abelove considers topics as various as Freud, the eighteenth century, Elizabeth Bishop, Thoreau, queer students, and American Studies founder F.O. Mathiessen. But these essays are not a miscellany. They are the culmination of a careful mind's work of two decades, and model a method for queering history and culture that simply does without the polemics or technical jargon that typically characterize such projects. It is a book that repays careful reading, one that is short enough to be realistically re-read, and one clear and self-contained enough to be read without reference to a mountain of other academic texts.
