From the book cover: I think questions of sexuality and pornography which are of so much concern to feminist today can be clarified and demystified.

But then perhaps the Russians hadn't expelled a great poet so much as exposed us to one of their virulent personality cults. Yet Brodsky's es...(展开全部)
