August 30, 2008Welcome to the interior of the male gaze, with photos. It is in fact a lovely book, with some nicely appropriated quotes. But I couldn't help feeling slightly compromised, as if I had joined Malanga scanning the surfaces of women's bodies. I am sure that was his intention.
One seriously not-so-serious criticism: I cringed the third time he used the word "maillot" and then I cringed a dozen more times. What is with that word? What is wrong with "bathing suit"?
