What is Sappho: ]fragments about?

In Sappho, Jonathan Goldberg takes as his model the fragmentary state in which this sublime poets writing survives, a set of compositional and theoretical resources for living and thinking in more fully erotic ways in the present and the future. This book thus offers fragmentary commentary on disparate (Sapphic) works, such as the comics of Alison Bechdel, the paintings and cartoons of Leonardo da Vinci, Robert Reid-Pharrs Living as a Lesbian, Madeleine de Scudrys Histoire de Sapho, John Donnes Sapho to Philaenis, Todd Haynes and Patricia Highsmiths Carol, Virginia Woolfs Orlando, writings by Willa Cather, and the paintings and writings of Simeon Solomon, among other works. Goldberg challenges readers to imagine and experience what Sarah Orne Jewett named the country of our friendship, a love both exceedingly strange and compellingly familiar. Just as Sapphos coinage bitter-sweet describes eros as inextricably contradictory two things at once, one thing after another, each interrupting, complicating, each other the juxtapositions in this book mean to continually call into question categories of identity and identification in the wake of a quintessential woman writer from Lesbos.
