About This Item

Thomas Dunne Books, 1998 Hard cover. Very Good. Very good in very good dust jacket. 3rd printing. Small scuff to inside front cover where sticker was removed. Very tight binding, unmarked pages, page edges have a tiny bit of smudging. Upper corners bumped, dropped on it, heavily bumped. 400 p. What, in addition to its subject matter, gives Courtesans and Fishcakes its compulsive readability is the realization, very early on, that Davidson is at least one jump ahead of the field. An ultra-radical himself in his approach, he is nevertheless gleefully deconstructing the deconstructionists throughout, in the name of revisionist logic. whenever he sees that the Emperor of Theory has no clothes, he says so: loudly, cogently, and with irreverent relish. Celebrates the richness and complexity, not just of sex but of all the appetites, indeed of life as a whole...-Peter Green, Times Literary Supplement..
