I love RAW. He can put together sentences that you chew up and choke on NONFICTION DEALS
and then go back for more.
Then you take a concept I can really get around -- that world peace is in
some way connected to the mammaries and openness about sensuality and
breasts. WHAT? REALLY? THAT?
Yes. and not a terrible argument, and not a horrible set of stories to back it
up, and really, an enjoyable philisophical rant of RAWs.

Great book. First printed under the name The book of the breast....that
should give you enough motivation to have a go for it.
I swear to God, this is one of the most surreal books I have ever read. RAW
goes wild here, he is almost entirely speculative.
I'll break it down for you: it's a book about the female breast. It's amazing.
He had already touched some of those concepts in Prometheus Rising, like
our aesthetical affection for curves coming from the female breast, our first
source of food, care and even music.
Here he allows that idea to run freely. He works mainly with anthropological
concepts mixed with a stronger ...more

often really offensive, it's also kind of bizarrely fascinating. I think. I mean,
that's why I kept it, but it's been at least ten years since I actually read it...
Originally called The Book of the Breast, and published by Playboy, this is
Wilson’s book about the power of the female in culture. Wilson’s analysis is
interdisciplinary, employing anthropology, physiology, myth, literature and
popular culture.
Funny little book about feminist spirituality, written by a male columnist for
a porn magazine. It's not as insightful as I would have liked but covers more
ground than you would expect, considering the source.
