Andrï¿1/2 Gide: Pederasty and Pedagogy [Hardcover]

Naomi Segal (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0198159765 | ISBN-13: 978-0198159766 | Publication Date: January 14, 1999

Gide's sexuality was explicitly central to everything he wrote, but it was complex, moved as much by undesire as desire and the fascination for crime, education, virtue, or play. Naomi Segal traces the fluidity of motivation throughout his fiction and nonfiction, through the analogy of the mechanical processes of the male body.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This excellent volume is a challenging read that will, alternately, stimulate, exasperate, and exhilarate those looking beyond run-of-the-mill literary criticism."--Choice
