Brilliant text lying somewhere between sociology, philosophy, and poetry, Ahmed reorients phenomenonology through a critical queer lens with precision and soul. Ahmed's writing has reshaped the way my mind takes the world to hand in ways I can't even fully describe; to understand queer experience is to understand the ways we disorient and are disoriented by our worlds and how we respond to that disorientation to rediscover our pasts and possible paths. Can see myself returning to this book again and again and receiving a different lesson each time.
