"Wark's new book, Raving, is both a chronicle and a critique of her experience–a queer, trans, cripped, middle-aged one–articulated over the course of six essays, which put her friends and intellectual influences in conversation on the dance floor. To read it as a raver is to feel understood. To read it as anyone else is to get a glimpse of a world, enclosed and artificial, that, after the course of a loud, damp night, can leave its marks on everything outside."–Zoë Beery and Geoffrey Mak "The Nation" (3/14/2023 12:00:00 AM)
