Extending the horizons of queer, feminist, and psychoanalytic theory, this book challenges the twentieth centuryOCOs predominant understanding of narcissismOCoand the predominantly narcissistic qualities of male same-sex desireOCoas allegedly solipsistic, immature, sterile, antisocial, and apolitical. Bruhm argues that Narcissus has, instead, served to trouble the very cultural and gendered norms that define him."
