- Summary
- Extending the horizons of queer, feminist, and psychoanalytic theory, this book challenges the twentieth century's predominant understanding of narcissism--and the predominantly narcissistic qualities of male same-sex desire--as allegedly solipsistic, immature, sterile, antisocial, and apolitical. Bruhm argues that Narcissus has, instead, served to trouble the very cultural and gendered norms that define him.
