"Argonauts" tells us a great love story. A true story told by Maggie Nelson herself and told in the first person, from a personal perspective. The themes that this story covers seem to be both conventional and traditional – love, sex, marriage, the body, family, childbirth, motherhood. But in this thoughtful and beautiful book, those concepts expand, shake, change, and explode with intense, radical emotion. - Salome Asatiani.
"The subject who says 'I love you' is like the Argonaut 'who refits the ship but does not change the name.' "I love you" spoken by a person in love is like an "argo" whose parts change over time, but the name remains the same. The meaning of this word must change with each utterance, according to each specific situation, because "the purpose of love and language itself is to always add a new meaning to the same phrase."
American writer and poet Maggie Nelson was born in California in 1973. He taught literature and creative writing. Currently, he is a professor at the University of Southern California. He has received a number of awards and fellowships, including the so-called MacArthur Award in 2016. "Genius Grant".
Nelson creates a new form of non-fiction, and presents the topics of our time in stories dictated by everyday personal experiences. He invites the reader to follow along with him as he attempts to deal with personal and somewhat unique challenges. Feminist and queer theories, culture and art criticism, philosophy and psychology are abundantly used for this purpose. In his works, the author observes truisms and ideologies with skepticism and constantly forces himself to understand different perspectives.
