content: Real Live Nude Girl was recommended to me several times before I picked it up. Knowing something about Carol Queen, her politics and the areas in which she works, I expected to be frightened more than engaged by the book. Boy, was I wrong! I'm glad I finally read it after all. Carol Queen's intelligence, humor, and insight make subjects that can be overwhelming come across instead as engaging and challenging. I was left knowing more, wondering more, and fearing less. So don't hesitate to give it a spin even if it sounds at first like a bit much.
