![Sappho: ]fragments by Goldberg, Jonathan](http://www.whiterainbookhouse.com/cdn/shop/files/img_ebafa8c7-75e5-4fd8-a61a-307a2e092fec.jpg?v=1762316000)
Just as Sappho's coinage "bitter-sweet" describes eros as inextricably contradictory - two things at once, one thing after another, each interrupting, complicating, each other - the juxtapositions in this book mean to continually call into question categories of identity and identification in the wake of a quintessential woman writer from Lesbos. Over and over again, Goldberg's Sappho: ]fragments inquires into how race, sexuality, and gender cross each other. The theoretical genius of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick presides over this set of meditations and mediations on likeness and desire. Rather than homogenizing its many subjects, it invites the reader to explore and inhabit new transits within and through what Audre Lorde called "the very house of difference."
With an Afterword, "After-Party: Sappho Meets Freud," written by L.O. Aranye Fradenburg Joy.
