Is Camille on to something or is she just stirring the pot? Culture commentary of the literary and academic kind, Camille is not nice to fellow professors, women who complain about white collar sexism, or folks offended by sex, though she has enough humor to print various cartoons poking fun that have come out over the years.
The bestselling author of Sexual Personae and Sex, Art, and American Culture is back with a fiery new collection of essays on everything from art and celebrity to gay activism, Lorena Bobbitt to Bill and Hillary. These essays have never appeared in book form, and many will be appearing in print for the first time.
