The Nude Summary
The Nude Reviews
The simple and often quite beautiful statement of a man of letters ... [in] a book which is as much a pleasure to read as it is informative and provocative.--The New York Times A feminist critique of a male (and Western) view of the Tantric tradition [and also] a balanced reassessment of a tradition too long misunderstood.--Parabola Probably no one else alive today writes about art with Sir Kenneth's precise combination of intelligence, urbanity, and erudition... This is an important book and a fascinating one, and the illustrations do much to illuminate it.--The New Yorker
