Entertaining Lesbians: Celebrity, Sexuality, and Self-Invention
Martha Gever

Before the rise of celebrities like Ellen DeGeneres and k.d. lang, lesbians were rarely in the limelight and the few that were often did not fare well.

A Tribute To The Eternally Cool Pacific Northwest!
TRUE!! This is about our wonderful inventors of the Pacific Northwest--(I'm not tralking about John Keyster, Pat Cashman and the cast of the late, thoroughly lamented, locally-produced "Almost Live" comedy show..) But I feel that this book is also about our state of being as a region as of 1991---THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE (as Fremont still so boldly proclaims!) Microsoft and the the never ...

Augustine's Invention of the Inner Self: The Legacy of a Christian Platonist

Phillip Cary

Oxford University Press, USA, 2003

My philosophy professor
I'm a honors philosophy student at Eastern college, and Dr. Cary is my professor. I haven't read all of this book, but have flipped through it enough to know its worth. Dr. Cary's knowledge of Augustine is at once both vast and concentrated, and his writing is highly academic but very clear and easy to follow. I would recommend this work to any one interested in Augustine, the inner self, or ...

Fictions in Autobiography: Studies in the Art of Self-Invention

1 review
Paul John Eakin

Princeton Univ Pr, 1988

A complex, dense, but brilliant discourse on autobiographies.
Eakin describes autobiographies as performative acts in which the self is created through language and narrative. He describes the autobiographical works of Mary McCarthy, Henry James, and Sartre, and points out that although we have no problems with autobiographical elements in works of fiction, we do struggle with elements of fiction in autobiographies. Eakin then continues to point out that ...

The Invention of the Self: The Hinge of Consciousness in the Eighteenth Century
John O. Lyons
