Description
Tori Amos's Boys for Pele is a deeply unsettling album that has sparked intense reactions from listeners. Amy Gentry explores why this music elicits such strong emotions, arguing that it taps into the disgust women are socialized to feel about their own bodies and tastes. Gentry examines the aesthetics of disgust as a useful framework for understanding women's experiences with art more broadly. By exploring the ways in which Tori Amos's music challenges traditional notions of beauty and taste, Gentry sheds light on the complex relationships between art, identity, and culture. This book offers a thought-provoking analysis of an album that has become synonymous with controversy and debate.
