THE GENDER OF SOUND
ANNE CARSON
$25.00
Silver Press
48 pages, paperback
9781739371791
When glass breaks, the noise it makes is a uniquely terrifying shimmer. In The Gender of Sound, the shatter of glass can be heard as the lure of a siren; the effeminate is understood as cause for alarm and
manifests shrilly as alarm itself. It is a sharp analysis of the ways that high-pitched voices have been coded
as unwise or untrustworthy since the ancients, and as a soft voice myself, it’s a text that sold me on Carson wholeheartedly.
