Drake’s Reviews > Powers of Horror: An Essay on Abjection > Status Update

Literally made me mad and gave me a headache. I don’t know what I’m trying to prove by reading this. I feel like I’m actually going through the stages of grief.

Watched some videos, read some reviews. I’ve learned it’s not only ok to be confused and not understand the references to psychoanalysis but it’s normal. Not only that but it’s still possible to get something out of the essay. I’ve heard a person with. Doctorate also say that it’s complicated so I feel better about my approach which is just to read a little at a time

I’m gonna give this book ten more pages and if I don’t get something out of it I’m gonna have to stop and read some of the secondary literature about it.

This is not going to be a casual read
