Maggie Nelson: Slicks, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A keen, ardent celebration of unbridled female ambition in the work of Taylor Swift and Sylvia Plath

In The Slicks , Maggie Nelson positions culture-dominating pop superstar Taylor Swift and feminist cult icon Sylvia Plath as twin hosts of the female urge toward wanting hard, working hard, and pouring forth-and as twinned targets of patriarchy's ancient urge to disparage, trivialize, and discipline creative work by women rooted in autobiography and abundance.

A buoyant melding of popular culture and literary criticism, The Slicksis a captivating and unexpected assessment of two iconic female artists by one of the most revered and influential critics of her generation.
