Messiness: A Fragmented Understanding of Queer Theory is a mini-anthology of three essays: The F Terms, The Violence of Naming and A Messy Understanding of
Disidentification and the Husband Calling Competition were all published for the first time and written in and around 2018. This 44-page publication looks at a messy understanding of queer theory, stating:
"Queer theory, as a concept and written form, to me, is always at odds as an academic discipline. The friction of having a concept like “Queerness” being so institutionalized leaves a lot to be desired. Can anything within institutions be truly free, radical, transverse? - An answer I would give is they can speak to these modes of “being,” but rarely “be” what they are writing to."
