Laura Kipnis' forthcoming book, LOVE IN THE TIME OF CONTAGION, received glowing praise from Publishers Weekly. In their review, they write: “Cultural critic Kipnis (UNWANTED ADVANCES) takes a wry and thought-provoking look at modern trends in sex and relationships. In essays that wander far afield without losing sight of their central topic, the author interweaves autobiography, cultural criticism, psychology, philosophy, feminism, and gender studies...Though Kipnis’s take on relationship dynamics feels pessimistic and somewhat cynical, she is an ardent and astute interrogator of accepted wisdom. Readers won’t always agree, but they’ll relish grappling with this bracing study of modern life.” Pantheon will publish the book on February 8, 2022.
