I'm hooked at last but that says nothing of the quality of the writing. The author knows how to drag on and keep the reader's attention. In that sense just like a Netflix series. I believe he us a very ables writer. The problem is that he quite consciously targets a wider span of audience. He knows all the tricks in the book. But he decides to deliver a "Titanic".

The story is pretty straight forward. Like a Netflix series. Short chapters with well knitted links and headers to lure the reader inti the next pages, similar to any series out there. This of course sacrifices what I expect from a novel, the literature, the soul. It's missing. So bit it, it's a light read.

I'm taking a liking to the Werner character. His curious attitude toward science and imagination resonates with ms. Perhaps this would have been a good early novel had I read it as a teenager

This was a gift and I have not much expectations, as it is not as inspiring so far. So let's see

It's a very dense and packed book. I admit. Dussel has taken upon himself a massive project to resposition western philosophy from the viewpoint of the periphery. His language is sharp and unapologetic. He criticizes almost all big names. It doesn't seem an easy read. He starts his ontology in contrast with the westerns such as Heidegger, not from being, but from proximity. I shall see how it unfolds

So finally in this chapter we realize the core notion of the book. It could have easily been condensed in the first chapters, however Ghodsee chose to linger with her usual way. In short sexual economic is a model for capitalism society and glosses over a whole spectrum of other modes of social life. And financial independence makes a better sex life.

Finally reaching to chapter 4 one can see the author's view pointm although providing personal accounts are not interesting for a rigorous study, though it was never the claim of the book, Ghodsee provides some insight into the criticism of views on sexuality in capitalism. Especially she attempts to discredit sexual economic views. This section of the book could have been brought forth earlier in my opinion

It's getting disappointing as it unravels. The author is inconsistent with her position. A socialist who is ready to pop champagne for Hillary Clinton and later vouches for role models for girls, measures the success of women in eastern bloc, ignoring the propaganda and the political context and then her only criticism seems less commodity. As if capitalism had no role for feeding the patriarchs in the cold war
