Other than her mother, Carson elegizes three historical women in the titular essay of the volume, “Decreation: How Women Like Sappho, Marguerite Porete and Simone Weil Tell God.” The intense intellectual consideration of these women and their conceptions of decreation (what Weil articulates as the necessity “to undo the creature in us” and what the other women demonstrate is the expulsion of self in order to accommodate a deity) leads to a mediation on their merits and martyrdom in an opera of the same title, “Decreation...

In my kind of Li’l Kim video, that would be a sexual metaphor. Here, it’s just silly. You’re silly, Li’l Kim! Go to jail! Do not pass go! Do make sexier videos...
