Provocations by Camille Paglia
One of the Best Books of the Year: Kirkus Reviews> A timely and lavishly comprehensive collection from the inimitable critical firebrand--hailed as a fearless public intellectual and more necessary than ever (The New York Times)--tackling sex, art, feminism, politics, and education, and covering the full span of her wide-ranging and important career.Much has changed since Camille Paglia first burst onto the scene with her groundbreaking>Sexual Personae, but the laser-sharp insights of this major American thinker continue to be ahead of the curve--not only capturing the tone of the moment but also often anticipating it. Opening with a blazing manifesto of an introduction in which Paglia outlines the bedrock beliefs that inform her writing--freedom of speech, the necessity of fearless inquiry, and a deep respect for all art, both erudite and popular--Provocations>gathers together a rich, varied body of work that illuminates everything from the>Odyssey>to the Oscars, from punk rock to presidents past and present. Whatever your political inclination or literary and artistic touchstones, Paglia's takes are compulsively readable, thought provoking, galvanizing, and an essential part of our cultural dialogue, invariably giving voice to what most needs to be said.
