The Tragedy of Heterosexuality by Jane Ward

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

4.5

This book was a great look into something that’s quite interesting and not discussed much outside of queer circles. I loved the integration of case studies, ethnography, surveys/personal opinions, and queer theory. This book is definitely going to stick with me; it gave me a lot to think about and reflect upon. I appreciated the pacing of this book as well. At first, it was a bit slow, but as I continued reading, I found myself eager to know what would be said next, which in my opinion, is harder to achieve in a nonfiction book. I wished I’d known about this book when I was in college—I would’ve used it for a lot of my research and research papers. Overall, I found this book to be engaging and interesting, while providing me with insight and theories I was unfamiliar with. I learned a lot and got my perspective shifted many times throughout the book.
