Description: Rather than seeing camp as a mode of reception, a way of reading straight popular culture, Tinkcom sees it as an intentional product of gay men within the film industry.
Review Quotes: "A brilliant, innovative study of camp that exceeds the terms in which this topic traditionally has been conceived. The result is a reformulation of camp as queer industrial labor, from the perspective of the production as well as the reception of that work. Anyone working on camp will hereafter have to reckon with this book."--Steven Cohan, author of Masked Men: Masculinity and the Movies in the Fifties
