Sex, Art, and American Culture: Essays - Paperback

by Camille Paglia (Author)

A provocative and intelligent new book by the author of the national bestseller Sexual Personae. Camille Paglia has been called everything from "the intellectual pin-up of the '90s" to an academic Rottweiler to "the bravest and most original critic of our day". And she lives up to her various reputations in this incendiary new book of essays on the hottest issues in America's ongoing cultural debate.

Front Jacket

A collection of twenty of Paglia's out-spoken essays on contemporary issues in America's ongoing cultural debate such as Anita Hill, Robert Mapplethorpe, the beauty myth, and the decline of education in America.
