The Mummy's Foot and the Big Toe by Alan Krell
Presenting new images and ideas of the foot in a tantalizing way, The Mummy's Foot and the Big Toe is for all those with an interest in the humanities, languages, social sciences and anthropology.
`Alan Krell's observations and commentary are worthy of the array of literature and art he discusses - creative, imaginative, incisiveHe picks up where notables such as Theophile Gautier, Georges Bataille, and Charlie Chaplin left off, exploring the cultural implications of what we do about feet: from fetishizing them, to binding them, to racing with them shoeless, to perceiving their nakedness as innocence.' - Professor Richard Shiff, The University of Texas at Austin
