This is fantastic book that explains the interrelationships between desire, our private lives and public life, society and culture, and the law. Conceptually rich in demonstrating the centrality of the law to how we perceive desire, and of desire to the ways in which law regulates the society, this book also helpfully recounts various legal cases that have been crucial to the legal thinking on matters of gender and sexuality. It is written in an accessible and witty prose that will make you ponder deeply along with each page. A must read!
