Review Quotes: Paul B. Preciado's New Novel Longs for a World that May Never Come. 'An Apartment on Uranus' is a book about horizons, possibilities, love, desire and alternate spaces of gender-dwelling, written in a time, as the foreword puts it, 'that has not yet arrived.'--FRIEZE--
An important philosopher-theorist of gender and sexual politics for more than two decades now, Preciado is an electrifying writer: capable of packaging damning analysis, utopian vision, and flamboyant drama into one fell swoop.
