Affective Mapping is one of those rare books that makes difficult theoretical propositions and counterintuitive ideas comprehensible without robbing them of any of their complexity and subtlety.
   --Douglas Crimp, author of Melancholia and Moralism

Affective Mapping is not only keen, original, lucid, and persuasive: it is profoundly antidepressant.
   --Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick
