Mere Anarchy

A new collection of eighteen essays, including eight never-before-published pieces, features the author's inimitable reflections on everything from nanny tell-alls and film camp to clothes that smell like twice-cooked pork, in such works as "Nanny Dearest," "Sam You Made the Pants Too Fragrant," "Calisthenics, Poison Ivy, Final Cut," and "How Deadly Your Taste Buds, My Sweet." Reprint. 40,000 first printing.
