Bisexuality by Angie Bowie

Bisexuality by Angie Bowie

In our cutting edge western society, bisexuality has come to mean simultaneously a password to popularity and success in the media, a slur meaning any number of negative, normally promiscuous attributes, and a vague, undefined category of sexual preference that encompasses a very mixed bag. The introductory essay in this book highlights civilisations where bisexuality has flourished, and goes on to showcase the lives of more than 100 famous bisexuals like Alexander the Great, Sappho, Cassanova, Marquis de Sade, Oscar Wilde and Virginia Woolf.

'To their way of thinking, what made it possible to desire a man or a woman was simply the appetite that nature had implanted in man's heart for 'beautiful' human beings whatever their sex might be' Foucault, The Use Of Pleasure

Angie Bowie's own experience as a bisexual, and the hundreds of e-mail responses to her bisexuality essay, encouraged her to write this Pocket Essential. Previous books include Backstage Passes and Free Spirit.
