Time Is the Thing a Body Moves Through Kindle Edition

This book is an essay on T’s personal gender explorations as related to art broadly, and to the works of artist Felix Gonzales-Torres, specifically. It is a brave piece of writing, and provides insight into the lives, thoughts, and experiences of people whose own experiences might be very different from our own.Prior to reading this book, I had some familiarity with Gonzales-Torres’ work, but this book helped me view it from an alternate, and deeper, perspective—by personalizing it and integrating it into T’s own life. I appreciate this new degree of understanding.I would recommend this book to everyone, regardless of whether you are a person whose life transpires primarily within the LGBTQ community. It behooves all of us, as moral citizens, to contemplate and hopefully understand our fellow human beings as much as possible.

This was assigned to me as a fine arts grad student. It was a nice break from critical theories I’d been reading in class.This love story to prose puts you in the shoes of the author. It’s a beautifully written piece, almost like a stream of consciousness, about love, art, place, and ice. A lovely quick read, I’d recommend it to anyone.

Super dull, couldn’t get past the first 90 pages, great queer and trans representation and important to consume and buy work from fellow community members but it just really didn’t hold my attention. Lots of tangents.

This book is a gorgeous meditation on art, bodies, writing (what is we abandon metaphor, or if metaphor becomes impossible?), ice, and the author’s movement across identities, spaces, and relationships. The writing is meditative but also aggressive, always grounded in T’s exploration of interlocking themes. I really loved it and have recommended it promiscuously.

I love how whimsical and deep it is. The queer companion to I Love Dick (for the way visual art, gender theory and memoir are intertwined)
