Full Description
'A serious work of theory.'
The Guardian
'Jonathan Allan has come up with a whole theory of the arsehole.'
Dazed and Confused
In a resolute deviation from the governing totality of the phallus, Reading from Behind offers a radical reorientation of the anus and its role in the collective imaginary.
It exposes what is deeply hidden in our cultural production, and challenges the authority of paranoid, critical thought.
A beautiful work that invites us beyond the rejection of phallocentricism, to a new way of being and thinking about sex, culture and identity.
