Book Synopsis
In studying the white male body, a counterpoint in gender studies to the many readings of the representations of the female body, this book considers works by such authors as Poe, Maupassant, Moravia, Tournier, Roth, Guibert, and Foucault.

Trade Review
"This outstanding work is of vital importance to several related fields: sexuality studies (lesbian and gay), gender studies (masculinist and feminist), cultural studies, critical theory, and literary criticism. The scholarship is superb, as Schehr factors the entire oeuvres of the authors discussed as well as the author's critical receptions into his own discussions. He is, moreover, a cutting-edge literary theorist who happens to know his history (literary as well as political)-a rare combination." -Kevin Kopelson,University of Iowa
