In this re-view of Mapping Queer Space(s) of Praxis and Pedagogy, I eschew standards of book reviewing and instead aim to provide a pedagogical model for reading the text in question. By writing in a "scattered" format inspired by one of the text's chapters, I both show and tell the reader the effect the text has had on me. Rather than focusing on summary and evaluation, then, I write primarily about the different uses of "queer" in different chapters as a way of introducing the reader to queer studies and exemplifying a genuine response to the experience of reading the book.
