SEXUAL PERSONAE - Read Along?
Good afternoon everyone! This is the follow-up poll I mentioned in my favorites of 2023 video.
Should I do a (mostly Patron-Only) Chapter-By-Chapter review of Camille Paglia's Sexual Personae throughout the year so we can all read it together and discuss it?
I've been reading the gargantuan tome for the better part of a year now, and I've come to realize that one review will not cut it.
There's an astounding amount of interesting commentary in this book, on everything from Sade to Shakespeare.
How would you feel about a (mostly Patron - Only) Series throughout 2024 wherein once a month (or so, depending) I produce a Patron-Only video covering a chapter (or chapters, some are shorter than others).
The 1st video and 1st chapter will be public (Chap 1 is a bombshell), and the rest will all be for Patrons only.
This would start in either late February or March. I'll give a heads-up.
Everyone would be charged as usual for each video, with a copy of Sexual Personae and Coffee sent out.
By no means would these be the only Patron-Only reviews of the year, just a cool addition to the ones I have planned.
I'd love your thoughts and suggestions!

Where do we sign up?!
Ordered my copy!
Worth doing. I will add, this is deep water. The references need support. The works and ideas she references should have short videos that provide overview. Example, Autobiography of Benvenito Cellini. When he throws cutlery into the hot metal of his Perseus and essentially blows up his house... Priceless, if not edifying.
A great suggestion, thank you - I'll see if I can review works mentioned by her throughout the year.
Maybe try this out first for 3-4 sessions, so we all can see how this goes along. Depending on the Patron's feedback, the read-along can then be continued.
Absolutely! The moment you mentioned it, I picked up a copy. Can’t wait.
That sounds awesome!
I think that’s a great idea.
absolutely do this!
yes! please.
