Camille Paglia

Paglia is always good value, as a critic and a contrarian. After a relatively quiet period, for her, she’s back in the news with a new book, Break, Blow, Burn: Camille Paglia Reads Forty-Three of the World’s Best Poems , reviewed here by Clive James, which she characterises as “part of my war against literary theory”. Bookslut have a great interview with her.
