I decided to check this book out, after reading about how an article by Cvetkovich helped to inspire Le Tigre to write the song "Keep On Living". This book deals with the many intersections between the queer community and the current discussions in trauma theory. It especially delves into issues with "confessing" versus "witnessing", and how the queer community's experiences with coming out create a more positive model for trauma survivor's to tell their stories and heal, contrasted with past models from the feminist movement and psychotherapy. The writing is dense and heavy on theory, and is equally rich in its interpretation of literary and artistic works. I'm into that sort of thing, so I thought it was great. Honestly, this book covers so much ground related to trauma and sexuality that I wouldn't be doing it justice to even pretend to give a full overview. I'll just say that if you're interested in the topic, you should definitely read this book.
