The Scandal of Pleasure by Wendy Steiner
Surveying a wide range of cultural controversies, from the Mapplethorpe affair to Salman Rushdie's death sentence, from canon-revision in the academy to the scandals that have surrounded Anthony Blunt, Martin Heidegger, and Paul de Man, Wendy Steiner shows that the fear and outrage they inspired are the result of dangerous misunderstanding about the relationship between art and life.
Wendy Steiner is the Richard L. Fisher Professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania, specializing in interrelations between visual and verbal art. She is the author of numerous books including The Real Real Thing: The Model in the Mirror of Art (2010) and Venus in Exile: The Rejection of Beauty in 20th-Century Art (2001). Tom Moran is the chief curator and artistic director at Grounds For Sculpture in Hamilton, New Jersey. A sculptor in his own right, he has lectured on public art around the country and has taught at Rutgers University as well as at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
