Erotic Faculties

"Joanna Frueh's work is risky, lascivious, fluid, accessible, personal, theoretical, and very beautiful. She does what few other art historians have the nerve to do and that is to conflate theory with lived and erotic experience."--Barbara De Genevieve, School of the Art Institute of Chicago "This is the strongest, most powerful book I have read in a long time. . . . It initiates a kind of writing, or opens a kind of fissure in writing, that needs to be opened, and the example of this book will, especially among women writers, serve to facilitate that opening. To borrow one of the essay's titles, I think it will literally be the 'mouth piece' of a new kind of critical practice."--Henry Sayre, Oregon State University "The book is luminous, embodied, puts thought where lived experience and theory merge."--Carolee Schneemann
