The Professor And Other Writings - Terry Castle

2010 hardcover with dust jacket and 340 pages brand new. R45 postage in SA.From one of Americas most brilliant critics and cultural commentators, Terry Castle, comes The Professor and Other Writings: a collection of startling, gorgeously-written autobiographical essays and a new, long-form piece about the devastation and beauty of early love. James Wolcott, contributing writer to Vanity Fair, calls Terry Castle a Jedi knight of literary exploration and lesbian scholarship, and The Professor and Other Writings a greatest-hits package of show-stopping monologues and offhand-genius riffs. The Professor and Other Writings is a hilarious and heartbreaking exploration of gender, identity, and sexuality in the grand tradition of such feminist luminaries as Susan Sontag, Camille Paglia, and Joan Didion.
