Deep Sniff: A History of Poppers and Queer Futures

Booth
Karen Joy FowlerReview 31"Gun violence — & particularly the phenomenon of mass shootings — is the performative act par excellence, follows its own aesthetic laws of stylisation, quotation, & anxieties of influence." Nicolas Liney on Karen Joy Fowler's BOOTH (@serpentstail) https://t.co/c0i6Uuw42G
