About this book

Blending autobiography with philosophy, 'The Argonauts' chronicles Nelson's relationship with gender-fluid artist Harry Dodge and their journey to create a family. The book interrogates language, identity, and the body with radical honesty, offering a new way to think about care, desire, and queer kinship. ## Related reading If this resonates, you might also reach for [The Book of Disquiet](/products/the-book-of-disquiet/), [The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair](/products/the-truth-about-the-harry-quebert-affair/), or [A Small Place](/products/a-small-place/).
