About the book
In this mesmerizing, utterly original work, noted performance artist Joanna Frueh affirms the erotic both as a form of communion and transcendence and as a critical practice. Frueh rejects postmodern prose, using lush, graphic and sexual language to explore aging, beauty, sex, love, pleasure, contemporary art, and the body as a site and vehicle of knowledge and wisdom. Speaking in the multiple voices of lover, prophet, daughter, mythmaker, art critic, activist, and bleeding heart, Frueh seeks to loose the power of our unutilized erotic faculties with all of their widely expansive potential. Recuperating the sentimental, proudly asserting a romantic viewpoint, disrupting academic and feminist conventions, Erotic Faculties is a wild ride and a consummate pleasure.
