12 Erotica


1960s. His practice was based on his theories of ‘orgone energy’. He placed subjects in a tall, slender construction called the orgone box which he believed would elevate ‘orgastic potential’, rid the body of repressive forces, improve sexual potency, and enhance overall health. Reich’s sexual and political theories caught on, famously among the countercultural writers and artists in America Ginsberg, Burroughs, Mailer and Bellow. Meanwhile he was hailed as the leader of ‘a new cult of sex and anarchy’ and faced one debacle after another - professional denouncements, personal and political accusations, and bouts of mental illness. A startling and at times bizarre story, Turner brilliantly narrates the fitful, conflicted progress in a darkly funny tale written in a dry amiable ‘New Yorker’ style for which Turner was a regular contributor. 532pp in paperback with eight pages of photos. £9.99 NOW £4

72639 STRONGMAN: Vintage Photos of a


Masculine Icon by Robert Mainardi The masculine drive to achieve a superb body goes back to ancient Greece, resurfacing in the 20th century when Hollywood stars such as Arnold Schwarzenegger revived the muscled male ideal and bodybuilders competed for the title of Mr America or Mr Universe. The archive photos in this book compare the professionalised world of bodybuilding with the world of amateur pride in a well-built frame, starting in the 1880s and running to the mid-20th century. Eugen Sandow was a British strong man of German extraction who was spotted by impresario Florenz Ziegfeld, and other big names followed him into the limelight, such as Tony Sansone and Jules Bacon, who introduces this collection. Many of these double spreads feature amateurs and professionals in similar poses, for instance Italian wrestlers in an arm-lock contrasted with two nude amateurs practising a throw in 1880, or a snapshot of men larking around on the beach in 1940 balanced against Elias Rodrigues, Mr California 1948, striking a pose that shows off his rippling musculature. 200 sepia photos of pure beefcake. 112 pp. Remainder mark. $24.95 NOW £6.50
