By Bruce Benderson
In Sex and Isolation, readers will stumble upon eccentric road humans, Latin American literary geniuses, a French cabaret proprietor, a transvestite performer, and lots of different strange characters; they’ll stopover at subcultures infrequently defined in writing and be taken care of to Benderson’s iconoclastic reviews approximately tradition in former and modern city society. no matter if offering new theories in regards to the dating among paintings, leisure, and intercourse, reading the increase of the net and the disappearance of public area, or contemplating how faith and sexual id have interaction, every one essay demonstrates sharp wit, unbelievable perception and a few startling highbrow positions.
this is often the 1st American quantity of Benderson’s accrued essays, that includes either new paintings and a few of his best-known writings, together with his recognized essay “Toward the recent Degeneracy.”
