A troubling book....

AS a feminist, I found the story of the white male teacher at the girl's school shocking and revolting, but it is an interesting depiction of the typical male fear of Woman's power. Also of note is where Hawkes whines about how a "Marxist critic" (actually the courageous and brilliant guerilla theorist Richard Feldstein) challenged him in public. Oh, poor Mr. Hawkes! The rest of the book is padded with snipped excerpts from his books, which, if you like that sort of thing, I imagine you would like this book.
