A rallying, celebratory essay about Sylvia Plath, Taylor Swift and unbridled female ambition by the beloved author of Bluets and The ArgonautsIn The Slicks, Maggie Nelson positions culture-dominating pop superstar Taylor Swift and feminist cult icon Sylvia Plath as twin hosts of the female urge towards wanting hard, working hard and pouring forth – and as twinned targets of patriarchy’s ancient urge to disparage, trivialise and demonise such prolific, intimate output. A heady and rallying melding of popular culture and literary criticism, The Slicks is an inspired and unexpected assessment of two iconic female artists by one of the most revered and influential critics of her generation. PRAISE FOR MAGGIE NELSON:'Her words come as though from a great distance and strike incredibly close' Anne Enright‘Among the sharpest and most supple thinkers of her generation’ Olivia Laing'Always brilliant’ Geoff Dyer‘One of the most unique voices in non-fiction: enquiring, political, lyrically dazzling, empathetic’ Sinéad Gleeson
