Reviews

In this remarkable work, Kevin Ohi makes an extraordinarily compelling account of the queer ways that beauty, bodies, and desires circulate and continue to 'live on' as literary texts. Dead Letters Sent makes clear that Ohi has become one of the most accomplished, and one of the most 'transmissive,' literary critics of his generation. -Michael Moon, Emory University While many queer theorists attest to Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick's influence on their work, Kevin Ohi's book truly expands the reflective practice of queer pedagogy. This is a beautifully written book. -Nicholas de Villiers, author of Opacity and the Closet: Queer Tactics in Foucault, Barthes, and Warhol Dead Letters Sent is itself a model of queer transmission, one that may well inspire and inform future work in literary studies. -American Literary History Ohi's careful attention to his primary texts offers many rewards. -Modern Philology
