Opis

Focuses on the album that initiated Lou Reed's commercial success and the ways that it demonstrates the artist's position as an ambiguous cultural icon during this period.

Recenzje

What Furman has written serves as more than a mere essay on Lou Reed; it's also a consideration of how the notion of queerness has evolved over time and what Reed meant both to queer culture and to Furman as a person. In its exploration of the nature of art and the artist in its portrayal of marginalized communities, Transformer is a welcome addition to the ever-growing 33 1/3 library. Spectrum Culture
