Description: "This is the most extensive--and the most subtle and complex--examination of the feminist 'angle' on camp I have seen."--Alexander Doty, author of "Making Things Perfectly Queer "and coeditor of "Out in Culture"

Review Quotes: "Guilty Pleasures is a polished, provocative, and innovative scholarly work. Robertson addresses a timely set of topics (not only camp but also feminism, gender theory, the masquerade) from the perspective of star studies and queer theory. While theoretically sophisticated in its approach, and extremely well grounded in the scholarship on the texts and stars she analyzes, her book is written in a clear, direct, and witty style."--Steven Cohan, author of Telling Stories and coeditor of Screening the Male
