I picked this book up completely at random from a local library, and now he's on my list of authors to sniff about for, along with Niall Griffiths, Tom Wolfe, and rather a lot of men, actually, I need to read more women.

You had to look so much harder to find them (and perhaps still do) I remember stumbling (literally) on a book of Joanna Russ essays and lectures in the subbasement of my local independent bookstore and standing there completely blown away, reading her essay about slash! Not that this has anything to do with what the mens are saying. Sigh.
