Pathemata

‘Among the sharpest and most supple thinkers of her generation’ – Olivia Laing
‘One of the most unique voices in non-fiction: enquiring, political, lyrically dazzling, empathetic’ – Sinéad Gleeson
‘Always brilliant’ – Geoff Dyer
‘Her words come as though from a great distance and strike incredibly close’ – Anne Enright
‘Maggie Nelson shows us what it means to be real, offering a way of thinking that is as challenging as it is liberating’ – Eula Biss
‘Maggie Nelson who writes with such passion, clarity, explicitness, fluidity, playfulness and generosity that she redefines what thinking can do today’ – Wayne Koestenbaum
In Pathemata, Nelson somehow manages to write with perfect emotional pitch: its melancholia balanced with humour, its moments of grief and pain tempered by joy. Full of warmth, wisdom and weirdness, it is bound to become a classic. I adored it – Jenny Mustard

Maggie Nelson is the author of several books of prose and poetry including The Red Parts, Bluets, the National Book Critics Circle Award-winner The Argonauts, On Freedom, Like Love and, most recently, Pathemata. She teaches at the University of Southern California and lives in Los Angeles.
