Description: A riveting cultural criticism exploring one of America's most infamous serial killers
Brief description: Bryan J. McCann is professor of rhetoric and cultural studies at Louisiana State University. He is author of The Mark of Criminality: Rhetoric, Race, and Gangsta Rap in the War-on-Crime Era, and his work has appeared in such publications as Communication and Critical/Cultural Studies, Rhetoric & Public Affairs, and Women's Studies in Communication.
Review Quotes: Erudite, provocative, and disturbing. McCann renarrates the conventional understandings of Bundy as a kind of perverse aberration, choosing instead to illustrate the ways Bundy is more like us than we are comfortable to admit. McCann shows how Bundy not only hid in plain sight as he committed his murders, but how he still hides in plain sight in cultural narratives and performances of white masculinity.--Casey Ryan Kelly, author of Caught on Tape: White Masculinity and Obscene Enjoyment
