Summary: difficult, but important
Comment: Though I agree with what others have written of Butler's prose, I think her approach to the ubiquitous "nature versus nurture" question of gender is an important one (politically, socially, culturally, psychologically...) At times her rhetoric is questionable & her ideas somewhat biased (to the point of bordering on... well, less than practical). However, that should not, by any means, dissuade anyone from reading her work. Despite the difficulties it might present, "Gender Trouble" is challenging, thoughtful and thought-provoking-- an enlightening experience for anyone willing to put forth some effort.
Rating: 5
Summary: Worth the effort
Comment: While Butler's prose can be described as convoluted (and frequently is!), it is difficult because of its precision. In the murky world of "sex", "gender", "man/woman", "male/female", "masculine/feminine", "sexuality" and "sexual orientation", Butler navigates with cat-like agility. Butler's theories represent a leap forward in gender/sexuality theory and readingunderstanding them is well worth the effort.
Rating: 5
Summary: a mind bender
Comment: I read this book when I was taking a class with Judith Butler at Johns Hopkins years ago, and it opened my mind and changed the way I think about the world. Butler's writing is dense, but her ideas are crystalline. She is a brilliant person, and, after taking several of her classes, I consider myself a devoted acolyte.
