Judith Butler Book

Moya Lloyd succeeds in proving a readable and clear critique of Butler's work, which is often so dreadfully complex and opaque. I read Lloyd's chapter on Gender Trouble immediately after finishing the book, and her well-structured approach was a breath of fresh air. What I especially appreciate is that Lloyd doesn't "dumb down" Butler's arguments, but contextualizes them, teases them apart, and in that way, make them easier to grasp. At times I almost felt as if Lloyd was slightly overcompensating for Butler's difuseness by writing too structered, in a rather text-book manner - but this is just a minor criticism on the style. The content is impeccable.
