Penny Arcade recommended The Romanian in Books (curated)

 
The Romanian
The Romanian
Bruce Benderson | 2021
(0 Ratings)
Book Favorite

"There are many pleasures in this book: sex, travel, philosophy, art history. Benderson's louche tale is woven through a closely observed study of Romania, politically, historically and sociologically, the end of his mother's life, and the love affair between Romania's interbellum King Carol II and his Jewish mistress Magda Lupescu."

Sexual Personae: Art And Decadence From Nefreititi To Emily Dickinson
Camille Paglia | 1991 | Art, Photography & Fashion, Gender Studies, History & Politics

Book Favorite

"Camille Paglia is one of the most controversial feminists of all time, and also one of the most compelling. This mammoth book, put very shortly, examines the representation of sexuality in Western art. But it also goes into fierce discussion about religion, literature, art history, psychology, the brutal forces of sex and nature, and the amorality and pornography present in great art. As someone who personally writes a lot about sex work, one of my favorite lines in the book is, “The prostitute is not, as feminists claim, the victim of men, but rather their conqueror, an outlaw, who controls the sexual channels between nature and culture.”"
