The Professor

“[Terry Castle is] the most expressive most enlightening literary critic at large today.” —Susan Sontag From one of America’s most brilliant critics and cultural commentators Terry Castle comes The Professor and Other Writings: 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 Vanity Fair calls Terry Castle a “Jedi knight of literary exploration and lesbian scholarship” and The Professor and Other Writings “a greatest-hits package of show-stopping monologues and offhand-genius riffs.” The Professor and Other Writings 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.
