\u2022 “Like ‘perversion,’ the word ‘script’ has a special meaning for Escoffier, who devotes most of the book’s attention to films featuring sex between men, and treats pornography as a vast screen on which all of our fantasies are projected.” Steve Susoyev<\/a> reviews Sex, Society, and the Making of Pornography<\/em> by Jeffrey Escoffier.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “The themes reflect Griffin\u2019s core obsessions: sex, death, Christ, flesh, liquids, goofy japes, and lysergic gnosis. Man from Utopia<\/em><\/a> is an opus, one that Griffin felt strongly enough about to eschew the usual pulp, printing the cover on good full-color card stock.” Erik Davis<\/a> on Rick Griffin and a comic book like no other.<\/p>\n

Carter\u2019s evolved philosophical position on gender was a variation on Stoicism. Gender roles were \u201cbehavioural modes,\u201d a construct (\u201cBaby is hermaphrodite!\u201d), and there was weakness in allowing oneself to be beholden to (let alone enslaved by) a construct. Above all, women should have total sexual agency and also their own money. \u201cI became a feminist,\u201d she wrote in a postcard to Susannah Clapp, \u201cwhen I realised I could have been having all this instead of being married.”<\/p>\n
