    "description": "Much has changed since Camille Paglia first burst onto the scene with her groundbreaking <i>Sexual Personae</i>, but the laser-sharp insights of this major American thinker continue to be ahead of the curve&mdash;not only capturing the tone of the moment but also often anticipating it. Opening with a blazing manifesto of an introduction in which Paglia outlines the bedrock beliefs that inform her writing&mdash;freedom of speech, the necessity of fearless inquiry, and a deep respect for all art, both erudite and popular&mdash;<i>Provocations</i> gathers together a rich, varied body of work spanning twenty-five years, illuminating everything from the <i>Odyssey</i> to the Oscars, from punk rock to presidents past and present. Whatever your political inclination or literary and artistic touchstones, Paglia&rsquo;s takes are compulsively readable, thought provoking, galvanizing, and an essential part of our cultural dialogue, invariably giving voice to what most needs to be said.<br><b><b><br></b></b>",
