An Apartment on Uranus Kan levereras innan julafton
Uranus is the coldest planet in the solar system, a frozen giant named after a Greek deity. It is also the inspiration for Uranism, a concept coined by the writer Karl Heinrich Ulrichs in 1864 to define the 'third sex' and the rights of those who 'love differently'. Following in Ulrichs's footsteps, Paul B. Preciado dreams of an apartment on Uranus where he can live, free of the modern power taxonomies of race, gender, class or disability. In this bold and transgressive book, Preciado recounts his transformation from Beatriz into Paul B., and examines other processes of political, cultural and sexual transition, reflecting on socio-political issues including the rise of neo-fascism in Europe, the criminalization of migrants, the harassment of trans children, the technological appropriation of the uterus, and the role artists and museums might play in the writing of a new social contract. A stepchild of Michel Foucault and Judith Butler, Preciado argues, with courage and conviction, for a planetary revolution of all living beings against the norm.

Paul B. Preciado has the magic ability to fire off imperatives that dont feel bossy, but rather incite us to join him in whatever crackling energy, urgent curiosity, and dynamic nomadism is flowing through him. Reading these chronological missives offers the real pleasure of Preciados company in time, and inspires us not just to stay with our trouble, but to greet it with unstoppable speech, complex solidarity, glitter, and defiance. Maggie Nelson, author of The Argonauts An arresting, bold and moving book about crossing boundaries of body, sex, nation, species and language by an important dissident of dualism. Amia Srinivasan, author of The Right to Sex Like all of us, it turns out, Preciado was born on Uranus and dragged down to earth against his will. The language of that fall from grace wont get us home, but at least Preciado helps us imagine what might. Kevin Brazil, ArtReview
