Publisher Synopsis
"There is much in Erotic Innocence that is provoking, annoying, and amusing. . . ." -- James Campbell * New York Times Book Review * "Brave, wise, original, and exuberantly engaging, Erotic Innocence really does intervene in the contemporary cultural scene, both exposing its hypocritical awfulness and articulating models for a world in which children and adults could live much more happily than we do now. A brilliant and humane piece of cultural criticism."-Joseph Litvak, author of Strange Gourmets "A stunning and stinging book-more than entertaining, it is medicinal.
