Queer and anti-capitalist, they urge us not to be ruled by our fears, while always ethically navigating the forces--race, class, age, gender, and others--that put us each in different places of power. Nimbly exploring connections among beauty, friendship, and politics, \u003cem\u003eThe Shore\u003c\/em\u003e gives our era of crisis a language at once vernacular and philosophical, in a form that's both teeming and fluid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChris Nealon\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of English at Johns Hopkins University.
