"> ...the book makes an eco-socialist argument that is at once decolonial and feminist. It calls for an embodied materialism, asking thinkers and activists to recognize the historical significance of 'othered labour', that unnamed class of hands-on workers who catalyse natural processes, so enabling life-on-earth to flourish." — Dec 22, 2019 03:42AM

“Jason Lycurgus. Who, driven perhaps by the compulsion of the flamboyant name given him by the sardonic embittered woodenlegged indomitable father who perhaps still believed with his heart that what he wanted to be was a classicist schoolteacher, rode up the Natchez Trace one day in 1811 with a pair of fine pistols and one meagre saddlebag on a small lightwaisted but stronghocked mare which could do the first two furlongs in definitely under the halfminute and the next two in not appreciably more, though that was all.”
