Jones, James H. Alfred C. Kinsey: A Life
W W Norton & Co Ltd 2005 0393327248 / 9780393327243 Paperback New n/a Paperback
New. Some rubbing to publisher's decorated wrappers. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.The Jones biography remains definitive." Elaine Showalter, The Times Literary Supplement "Jones's biography-forthright, scholarly, original, magisterial -constitutes an 'atom bomb' of its own. Its fall-out will be enduring." Roy Porter, The Times Higher Education Supplement "Without being sensationalist, this is a sensational book." Laura Cumming, The Guardian "...a magisterial account of a driven man and the repressed culture in which he had to work." Blake Morrison, Books of the Year, Independent on Sunday "This painstaking biography has explained why Kinsey had a driving need to explain to men everywhere that whatever they did about sex, whatever they imagined about sex, they were still part of the human race and not hateful outsiders unfit to call themselves men." Claire Rayner, The Observer "...a fascinating account..." Veronica Groocock, New Statesman "[A] masterly biography..." James Bone, The Times "James H. Jones' life, first published in 1997, is the definitive account... Jones shows that 'Prok' was a repressed homosexual, fixated on masochistic masturbation who began his career as an authority on the gall wasp, a tiny, flightless insect... Jones paints a compelling portrait of a model of mid-American respectability whose secret life found its expression in ground-breaking research." Robert McCrum, The Observer 13 February 2005... A fascinating account of a fantastic American. -- The New Republic... A masterly, disturbing biography. -- Washington Post Book World ... The definitive biography of Alfred C. Kinsey-the man who inspired the major new motion picture starring Liam Neeson. ... More than twenty-five years in the making, this groundbreaking biography caused great controversy when it was first published. Drawing on tens of thousands of letters gleaned from more than a dozen archives and scores of personal interviews (ranging from members of sexual subcultures who demanded anonymity to congressmen, university presidents, prize-winning scientists, and heads of foundations), James H. Jones shows that the image of disinterested biologist cultivated by Kinsey was in fact a carefully crafted public persona. The Alfred C. Kinsey who emerges in these pages was a social reformer and a zealot, who devoted his every waking hour to the destruction of sexual repression. 31 b/w photographs.
