Pulp Friction



|
"I read through this book saying again and again, 'How did I miss this?' 'How did I manage not to know about this?'—a sign that Michael Bronski has done a necessary job and done it well. Rarely is a book so educational also such a delight. By leaving the hallowed precincts of the 'literary,' Bronski lends a continuity heretofore lacking in many of our pictures of the development of gay fiction from World War II on."—Samuel R. Delany, author of Times Square Red, Times Square Blue and The Motion of Light in Water

Houdini, Tarzan, and the Perfect Man: The White Male Body and the Challenge of Modernity in America
Houdini, Tarzan, and the Perfect Man



|
"Houdini, Tarzan, and the Perfect Man, like much of Kasson's earlier work, makes an important scholarly contribution and has great potential for classroom use. He engages an important subject about which most readers know something and peels back layer upon layer of meaning to reveal a complex social world of individuals, dreams, anxieties, and action . . . The result is a fine cultural history of masculinity . . . by examining turn-of-the-century masculine ideals and images and by reflecting on the ways social and cultural change shaped men's attitudes toward their bodies, fired their imaginations, and inflamed deep-seated anxieties. Kasson's study is not merely about the ideal of manly strength, survival, and resistance—it is about the multivalent performance of identity."—Susan Curtis, Purdue University, Journal of American History
