4.0 out of 5 stars
elegant and witty diversion,
By A Customer
This review is from: Poisoned Embrace: A Brief History of Sexual Pessimism (Paperback)
This is that unusual mix : a scholarly intellectual polemic which is also hilarious in a dry Brit way - by a young scholar-writer who I hope will soon publish something else soon. The stuff on witchcraft and the conquest of the New World is fascinating and really elegantly done

elegant essay,
By Paul (New York NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Poisoned Embrace: A Brief History of Sexual Pessimism (Paperback)
Enjoyed this strange little book, which is one of those Sontag-like essays which take in a lot during a kind of bicycle tour of cultural hang ups - it's slight, but intended to be so.Of course, you need a sophisticated reader here, with a light sense of humor... |
