Another One For The Reading List

What ever happened to Camile Paglia? Asks Pajamas Media today and it's a worthy question... I read a blip of her attempted excoriation of Lady Gaga and it missed the mark entirely. Lady Gaga is one of the most original artists to emerge in the last ten to fifteen years and far from the pale, plastic clone that Paglia made her out to be. A rare misfire for a great writer and cultural commentator.

Either way, apparently I need to read her magnum opus for myself: Sexual Personae- Art and Decadence from Nefertiti To Emily Dickinson.

Sigh... another one for the reading list.
