Reading from Behind [EPUB ebook] 
A Cultural Analysis of the Anus

‘A serious work of theory.’The Guardian’Jonathan Allan has come up with a whole theory of the arsehole.’Dazed and Confused In a resolute deviation from the governing totality of the phallus, Reading from Behind offers a radical reorientation of the anus and its role in the collective imaginary.It exposes what is deeply hidden in our cultural production, and challenges the authority of paranoid, critical thought.A beautiful work that invites us beyond the rejection of phallocentricism, to a new way of being and thinking about sex, culture and identity.
