Cover of Marjorie Garber: Vested Interests (ePUB)

Beginning with the bold claim, "There can be no culture without the transvestite, " Marjorie Garber explores the nature and significance of cross-dressing and of the West’s recurring fascination with it. Rich in anecdote and insight, Vested Interests offers a provocative and entertaining view of our ongoing obsession with dressing up–and with the power of clothes.
