Critics Review
“
How to be Queer is an elegantly presented book, evoking thoughtful consideration of queerness and sexuality. With a constant return to modernity … a simple point is enforced; we are not all that different from the ancient world … [it] makes for a delightful reading experience, and can be enjoyed by anybody, no matter their identity.

Nooter’s translations from the Greek are impressively both faithful to the original and comprehensible and pleasant to read for the language-less”—Daniel Libatique, Bryn Mawr Classical ReviewAbout The Author
