Reviews

Olivia Fane offers a welcome subversiveness on this subject, telling us that sex isolated from things that genuinely matter - kindness, trust, intelligent personal connection, humour and perspective - is insignificant. To use the irresistible image, she is diagnosing in our culture a bad case of the Emperor's new clothes where writing about sex is concerned. Rowan Williams, Theologian and Poet, former Archbishop of Canterbury, currently Master of Magdalene College and Honorary Professor of Contemporary Christian Thought If ever you worried that sex has become too important in modern life, Olivia Fane's glittering argument will amuse, provoke and get you talking. Simon Goldhill, Professor of Greek Literature and Culture, University of Cambridge
