The Argonauts
What's it about
Ever wondered how love, identity, and family can be radically reimagined beyond traditional norms? This powerful memoir invites you into a deeply personal story of transformation, challenging everything you thought you knew about partnership, gender, and the beautiful messiness of building a life together. You'll join author Maggie Nelson and her partner, the artist Harry Dodge, on their journey of falling in love, navigating Harry's transition, and starting a family. Discover how their experience reshapes our understanding of desire, caregiving, and queer family-making in a world that often demands simple labels.
Meet the author
Maggie Nelson is a MacArthur Fellow and a leading American writer whose work defies genre, blending memoir, criticism, and philosophy to explore art, love, and identity. Drawing from her own life with her partner, the artist Harry Dodge, Nelson wrote The Argonauts as a groundbreaking examination of queer family-making and transformation. Her unique "autotheory" style combines personal experience with rigorous intellectual inquiry, offering a profound meditation on the complexities of gender, language, and care in the twenty-first century.
