Overview

In this witty, learned, and scrupulously researched book, Marjorie Garber examines bisexuality and its many modes through a dazzling variety of critical lenses: cultural, scientific, literary, and psychological. Bisexuality and the Eroticism of Everyday Life is a monumental inquiry into what 'normal' might mean, and just how difficult it is to make claims about sexuality - someone else's or one's own. Whether you are curious or seriously interested, a lay reader or a student of sexuality or gender, Bisexuality and the Eroticism of Everyday Life is a book you will have to have.
