Review of 'Against Purity: Living Ethically in Compromised Times' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Had some interesting themes that helped me think about my own work, in the vein of complicity and interdependence. Also had some parts that I didn't find convincing (open normativities and her approach to queer theory) or well-explained (could definitely see her chapter on eating being assimilated into Omni excuses).
I did really like Shotwell's critique of "they're turnin' the frickin' frogs gay!!!" and associated rhetoric.
