About the Book
A keen, ardent celebration of unbridled female ambition in the work of Taylor Swift and Sylvia PlathBook Synopsis
A keen, ardent celebration of unbridled female ambition in the work of Taylor Swift and Sylvia Plath
In The Slicks, Maggie Nelson positions culture-dominating pop superstar Taylor Swift and feminist cult icon Sylvia Plath as twin hosts of the female urge toward wanting hard, working hard, and pouring forth--and as twinned targets of patriarchy's ancient urge to disparage, trivialize, and discipline creative work by women rooted in autobiography and abundance. A buoyant melding of popular culture and literary criticism, The Slicks is a captivating and unexpected assessment of two iconic female artists by one of the most revered and influential critics of her generation.About the Author
