Can a review be an amorous gesture, a simple pleasurable yes? In the spirit of scholarly respectability, we tend to assume a review should involve some form of cooled off distance, a cautionary and critical no. Yet, if as Rita Felski (2015) contends, there are limits to critique, then a piece of (queer) scholarly writing, like a work of art, could move a reader beyond simple identification or recognition.
