Professor

<p>[Terry Castle is] the most expressive most enlightening literary critic at large today. --Susan Sontag </p><p>From one of America's most brilliant critics and cultural commentators Terry Castle comes <em>The Professor and Other Writings</em>: a collection of startling gorgeously-written autobiographical essays and a new long-form piece about the devastation and beauty of early love. James Wolcott contributing writer to <em>Vanity Fair</em> calls Terry Castle a Jedi knight of literary exploration and lesbian scholarship and <em>The Professor and Other Writings</em> a greatest-hits package of show-stopping monologues and offhand-genius riffs. <em>The Professor and Other Writings</em> is a hilarious and heartbreaking exploration of gender identity and sexuality in the grand tradition of such feminist luminaries as Susan Sontag Camille Paglia and Joan Didion.</p>
