EXTREMELY beautiful and lyrical. kind of a dream. a celebration of the color blue and to feeling blue. lovely little book filled with beautiful explorations of what it is to be human, to hurt, to love.. and then throw in a bunch of fun facts and interesting topics and observations. i'm in love Maggie Nelson. you wrote a good one. this is divided into number paragraphs of stunning writing. as if that makes it more paused and each paragraph an important element for the whole Another Goodreads reviewer wrote that this books is like being locked in a room with the author, the color blue, and the word "fucking." This is an apt description of the book, though I suspect he meant it as a complaint, and I don't. This book is many things I enjoy a lot, and have been thinking about a lot as traits of art--academic, horny, fragmented, obsessive. It also just--doesn't quite hit the mark for me. It is self-indulgent in a way where I cannot slide into the "self" or even enjoy its decadence, for whatever reason. There are some really arresting highs--the author's response to William Gass' bullshit misogyny, the section on a "divine darkness," several unapologetic moments about disliking green. There's also lows--the inspiration porn tone of certain parts of her writing about taking care of a friend who has become quadriparalytic, in particular, is not great. But mostly the problems I had with this book weren't deep lows but simply things I was a little indifferent to, which fell a little flat, which, like, YMMV. Bluets is een mooi vormgegeven klein boekje met een harde kaft. Alleen daarom zou je het al willen hebben. Maggie Nelson schreef het in 2009, maar de Nederlandse vertaling kwam pas in 2021, van Nicolette Hoekmeijer. Het was ook pas toen dat ik er lucht van kreeg. Bespiegelingen in blauw is de ondertitel en het verhaal, voor zover je het zo kan noemen, is opgezet in de vorm van proposities. In 240 stellingen, gevoelens dan wel overwegingen, neemt Maggie je mee in haar wereld. Een review in 16 stellingen.
