This is not only one of the best books I’ve read this year, but one of the best books I’ve read, period. Nelson’s meditation on the color blue, lost love, and depression is a brilliant, effective experiment that defies categorization. I was late to the party with this one, but I quickly discovered why this slender volume is considered a literary masterpiece in certain circles (and a cult classic in others). So it was with Maggie Nelson’s book Bluets ( Wave Books, 2009). There has been a strange serendipity with Sigrun across the miles. She will write about a particular artist, book, or subject at the same time I’m also investigating that specific topic. ![]() The cover of Maggie Nelson’s Bluets (Photo courtesy Kelli Anne Noftle via ) ![]()
