Rezensionen

"Facing the complex majesty of Cloud of the Impossible, one cannot help but feel like some Moses-manqué before a literary Sinai. The prose is finely wrought, tracing the inter- and indeterminacies of a provisionally named "apophatic entanglement." This is a beautiful and important book, which traces the contours of a transfigured, queerly-theological discourse and practice--precisely where such a thing might seem impossible." - Mary-Jane Rubenstein, Wesleyan University
