This was an interesting read, but to be totally honest, I felt like I was reading Haraway's Cyborg Manifesto that someone mislabeled on the shelf. I know that it's a semantics issue to draw this line, but this is a manifesto through the lens of a novel, not a novel with existential or political themes. This was not... a horror novel. This is not what I signed up for. I mean the fiction was so light in its importance and so rarely relevant that at one point it got kind of frustrating and confusing when it came back up, because I was still navigating whatever proclamations were happening earlier.
I've read literature that was taught in Queer Theory classes and enjoyed it, but this just rubbed me the wrong way the whole time I read it. Despite that, I can't pretend it isn't sharp and the prose isn't beautiful and lilting through it's theorizing.
