| It's a Queer World by Mark Simpson. List Price:$19.95 |
 |
Full title: It's a Queer World : Deviant Adventures in Pop Culture Amazon reviewer: "It's a queer old world and getting jolly queerer all the time," Mark Simpson declares in his introduction, immediately setting the chipper yet sardonic tone for this collection of essays, most of which were first published in 1994 and 1995. Lesbian chic is now used to sell women's cosmetics, while a drag queen utilizes a men's electric razor in a TV advert. Gender expectations continue to be subverted, and Hollywood's biggest stars camp it up as pansexual vampires and outrageous drag queens. Even the straight men most threatened by all these changes fall victim to it themselves - they retreat into "New Laddism" a mass-marketed hyper-masculinity that verges on camp and "looks too much like Edina and Patsy meets Liam and Noel Gallagher [of Oasis]."Available from Amazon.com

| Sex Terror by Mark Simpson. List Price:$17.95 |
 |
"BRILLIANT.... With surgical precision, Mark Simpson peels away the layers of modern masculine culture leaving few (if any) iconic figures unscarred. This book is certain to provoke and likely to offend; we would expect nothing less from one of the most important voyeurs of contemporary man-sex-life. Exhaustive and exhilarating... a must-read for those who long for those who belong and for those who like it wrong."
