Review :
"...[a] tantalizing, informative, erudite and resourceful book ... Materializing Queer Desire deserves to be read widely and seriously. Its ideas will prove illuminating tools for future critical inquiries in the many corners of GLBT cultural scholarship, and Glick is to be congratulated for such an important first book." - Gay & Lesbian Review "It was a pleasure to read Glick's bold, well-written, and original book. At its heart, the book demonstrates the mutual investment of theories of sexuality and those of the commodity, emphasizing the ways in which the (usually male) gay subject emerges in and within the contradictions of capitalist modernity, particularly between the ostensibly private world of pleasure and consumption and the public domain of production." - Amy Villarejo, author of Lesbian Rule: Cultural Criticism and the Value of Desire "I really like how this book traces the persistence of a series of tropes-from decadence to artifice to dandyism-through what we might tentatively call queer modernity. This book also bravely puts its methodological cards on the table from the outset, bringing queer studies and Marxism into productive conversation. It makes a brilliant contribution to modernism and queer studies." - Kevin Floyd, author of The Reification of Desire: Toward a Queer Marxism
