Winner of France's 2004 Prix de Flore for his memoir The Romanian: Story of an Obsession, Bruce Benderson has gained international respect for his controversial opinions and original take on contemporary society. In this collection of essays, Benderson directs his exceptional powers of observation toward some of the most debated, as well as some of the most neglected, issues of our day. In Sex and Isolation, readers will encounter eccentric street people, Latin American literary geniuses, a French cabaret owner, a transvestite performer, and many other unusual characters; they'll visit subcultures rarely described in writing and be treated to Benderson's iconoclastic opinions about culture in former and contemporary urban society. Whether proposing new theories about the relationship between art, entertainment, and sex, analyzing the rise of the Internet and the disappearance of public space, or considering how religion and sexual identity interact, each essay demonstrates sharp wit, surprising insight and some startling intellectual positions. This is the first American volume of Benderson's collected essays, featuring both new work and some of his best-known writings, including his famous essay Toward the New Degeneracy.Binding Type: Paperback

Cell Phone Gadgets!
Model: AMAZON EXCLUSIVE Silver Swirl
These little attractive suction backs for your cell phone are really cool! My granddaughter got some for Christmas and I thought they were the neatest thing to keep your phone handy and near by! They attach without glue to the back side of your phone and are quite strong, not to mention cute! (because of all the colors you can buy!) When I'm making a recipe I can stick my phone to any smooth surface and its all in front of me. Or just cooking and talking to a friend, on facetime. Leave it to our grandkids to show us all the latest and coolest ideas!
