Saddle Up, Happy! by Kristin Earhart
This collection looks from a variety of angles at the human body as it resists the determinations of gender, sexuality, socialisation and history. Ranging from classical hermaphrodites, Bruegel's blind faces and Weimar transgender surgery, via Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, state socialist sport and Proust, to Barbie, Lari Pittman, American Psycho, IVF and video dance, the 16 essays question the relationship between politics, culture and desire. This illustrated book also features the original work of two young photographers and a theatre director.
Kristin Earhart grew up in Worthington, Ohio, where she spent countless waking and sleeping hours dreaming about horses and ponies. She started riding lessons at eight. Kristin s pony, Moochie, and her horse, Wendy, were two of the best friends a girl could have. She now lives and writes in Brooklyn, New York, with her husband and their son.
