I predict that for some, "Come As You Are" by Emily Nagoski - subtitled "The Surprising New Science That Will Transform Your Sex Life" - will be one of those books. I will be grateful forever to "The Hite Report." Ditto "The Happy Hooker." Certain books, at key moments, open our eyes to sexual reality - not the distorted reality of porn or bodice-buster novels, but the real-life reality of what our fellow humans do in private and how our own bodies and brains really respond.

Much lauded today, then reviewers called Taussig’s approach “lapidary,” “capricious,” or “untidy.” At best, form, and especially narrative form, was seen as epiphenomenal to the true purpose of ethnographic labour: critiquing power, exposing the real. ![]() In transposing forms that emerged in the visual realm to narrative and writing, Taussig sought to convey the terror-ridden charges of living in and with violence.
