The Professor: a Sentimental Education
Terry Castle
?[Terry Castle is] the most expressive, most enlightening literary critic at large today.? ?Susan Sontag
From one of America?s most brilliant critics and cultural commentators, Terry Castle, comes The Professor and Other Writings: a collection of startling, gorgeously-written autobiographical essays and a new, long-form piece about the devastation and beauty of early love. James Wolcott, contributing writer to Vanity Fair, calls Terry Castle a ?Jedi knight of literary exploration and lesbian scholarship,? and The Professor and Other Writings ?a greatest-hits package of show-stopping monologues and offhand-genius riffs.? The Professor and Other Writings is a hilarious and heartbreaking exploration of gender, identity, and sexuality in the grand tradition of such feminist luminaries as Susan Sontag, Camille Paglia, and Joan Didion.
