Winner of France's 2004 Prix de Flore for his memoir The Romanian: Story of an Obsession, Bruce Benderson has gained international respect for his controversial opinions and original take on contemporary society. In this collection of essays, Benderson directs his exceptional powers of observation toward some of the most debated, as well as some of the most neglected, issues of our day. In Sex and Isolation, readers will encounter eccentric street people, Latin American literary geniuses, a French cabaret owner, a transvestite performer, and many other unusual characters; they'll visit subcultures rarely described in writing and be treated to Benderson's iconoclastic opinions about culture in former and contemporary urban society. Whether proposing new theories about the relationship between art, entertainment, and sex, analyzing the rise of the Internet and the disappearance of public space, or considering how religion and sexual identity interact, each essay demonstrates sharp wit, surprising insight and some startling intellectual positions. This is the first American volume of Benderson's collected essays, featuring both new work and some of his best-known writings, including his famous essay Toward the New Degeneracy.Binding Type: Paperback

I felt cute
Gorgeous. Little snug for the jacket for recommended size but I got 6 months to lose some stomach to fit better LOL I don't blame the jacket.

Color is not accurate
Size: Medium, Color: Grey
Suit quality is good. This is NOT dark grey. Its a very standard grey when you have it in person. I might return just for this reason as we were really looking for a dark grey suit.

Stylish, Well-Made, and Comfortable!
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
I recently purchased this 3-piece suit for my grandson, and I’m very impressed with the quality and fit. The fabric feels durable yet soft, and the tailoring gives it a sharp, modern look without feeling too stiff. The vest adds a classic touch and elevates the overall style.
The sizing was accurate, and the suit was comfortable to wear for long hours at work and events. The jacket, pants, and vest all coordinate perfectly, and I appreciate the attention to detail, like the lining and buttons.
Whether you’re attending a wedding, business meeting, or formal event, this suit looks expensive without breaking the bank. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a versatile, stylish 3-piece suit!

Perfect Fit and Great Quality!
Size: 4, Color: Vest Pants Set-black 2, Size: 4, Color: Vest Pants Set-black 2
I love this set! It came with everything included shirt, vest, pants, tie, and bow tie which made it a fantastic value. I bought it for my grandson, who is a tall 3-year-old (3’9 and 41lbs), so I usually size up and got a size 4. It fit him perfectly! The quality is excellent well made with great fabric not a stretchy material and it looked absolutely adorable on him. I would definitely buy this again. Great price for what you get!
