It's hard to think of a solo female recording artist who has been
as revered or as reviled over the course of her career as Tori
Amos. Amy Gentry argues that these violent aesthetic responses to
Amos's performance, both positive and negative, are organized
around disgust-the disgust that women are taught to feel, not only
for their own bodies, but for their taste in music. Released in
1996, Amos's third album, Boys for Pele, represents the height of
Amos's willingness to explore the ugly qualities that make all of
her music, even her more conventionally beautiful albums, so
uncomfortably, and so wonderfully, strange. Using a blend of
memoir, criticism, and aesthetic theory, Gentry argues that the
aesthetics of disgust are useful for thinking in a broader way
about women's experience of all art forms.
