Book Reviews of Epistemology of the Closet: Updated with a New Preface
Book Review: Indispensible part of my library
Summary: 5 Stars
I had taken this book out of the library so many times, I finally decided that it was time to buy it, and I'm so glad I did! I am referring to it constantly throughout my dissertation. Sedgwick was so far ahead in her theorization of the non-reality of the gender binary. For a scholar of performance, and gendered power, this book is the best way of thinking forward that I have yet encountered.
