Ruben Martinez does an intimate-critical review of Richard Rodgriguezs DARLING: A SPIRITUAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY. lareviewofbooks.org/review/desert-pilgrimage [Cuban curator/critic Gerardo] Mosquera turned the traditional critical model upside down, proposing critical intimacy instead of critical distance, with its sham objectivity. To write, in a manner of speaking, of the work from within: critic as coconspirator. Criticism as context, as inter-text, parallel text: it does not preclude raising questions or pointing out problems, but does preclude critic-as-asshole. You can understand how this model was perfectly suited to Mosquera’s situation: solidarity as survival.
