Produktbeschreibung

""G-Strings and Sympathy" effortlessly merges the personal with the polemical, the scholarly with the serendipitous, and the earthy with the esoteric. Informed, intelligent, yet always accessible, Katherine Frank's writing sheds a piercing beam of light on the shadowy realm of exotic dance."--Lily Burana, author of "Strip City: A Stripper's Farewell Journey Across America "
