-Statue-fondlers, wanderlusters, sex magicians, and nymphomaniacs:
the story of these forgotten sexualities--what Michel Foucault
deemed "minor perverts"--has never before been told. In The Book of
Minor Perverts, Benjamin Kahan sets out to chart the proliferation
of sexual classification that arose with the advent of
nineteenth-century sexology. The book narrates the shift from
Foucault's "thousand aberrant sexualities" to one: homosexuality.
The focus here is less on the effects of queer identity and more on
the lines of causation behind a surprising array of minor perverts
who refuse to fit neatly into our familiar sexual frameworks. The
result stands at the intersection of history, queer studies, and
the medical humanities to offer us a new way of feeling our way
into the past.
