I shouldn’t have ignored my personal red flags of the epistolary form and American Protestantism. I’ll take Go Tell It on the Mountain over this any day. DNF

I didn't get off to a good start with Professor Neocleous. I dutifully read the 70+ pages of introduction assuming I'd be provided with a modern frame for a 20-year-old text, but instead received a messily structured re-hash (pre-hash?) of points from the main text without appropriate context, leaving me fatigued by the start of the first chapter. Not sure that I'm gonna make it.

Destabilising, raw, and insightful.

"If I'm more of a toy to be wound up than a man, can I write beautiful things? What I mean is that I don't subscribe to the fantasy of self-sovereignty, knowing fully that the past starts into my brief body like a knife. My hands are made up of a set of hands that puppeteer me. The hands aren't God's. They are History's. Its sores are mine."

So glad I bought this

I'm obsessed with this book
