Who are the monsters in Jean Cocteau's Infernal Machine ? Eynat-Confino's absorbing study gives us all facets of this central theme of Cocteau's modern classic and the ways monstrosity relates to Cocteau's self image as homosexual and poet. A must read for readers interested in Cocteau, modern French theater, and gender and gay studies. --John M Clum, Professor of Theater Studies and English Duke University and author of Still Acting Gay: Male Homosexuality in Modern Drama and Something for the Boys: Musical Theater and Gay Culture
