Review quote:
Fiercely erudite, freewheeling and sex-drenched . . . The Helen Vendler-meets-Patti Smith grad seminar you wanted but never quite got [. . . Paglia is] a fearless public intellectual and more necessary than ever
Review quote:
Paglia”s vision is always fresh . . . A fascinating and challenging reading companion
Review quote:
Dazzling . . . Compulsively readable
Review quote:
Polemical, thought-provoking, enraging, funny, and brave
Review quote:
She flies as high as you can go
Review quote:
Remarkable . . . at once outrageous and compelling, fanatical and brilliant
Review quote:
A compilation of Paglia”s best, and most incendiary, previously published essays . . . At times infuriating, at times glittering, Paglia”s prose is always biting and relentless
Review quote:
An essential work by an essential public intellectual
Review quote:
Feminist and culture critic Paglia is at her feisty, full-throated best in this series of short manifestos that spans her career
Review quote:
Paglia is a brilliant thinker on culture and human nature . . . Inspirational in its tone and its message that freedom belongs to both sexes
