My dear, she's on fire! From low camp to high, from Louis XIV to Ru Paul, Baker charts the rise-and-rise of camp. Glittering cultural armour for dark times. Paul Baker captures essence of an essentially uncapturable phenomenon making it just knowable enough for all. Delightful!
A snappy guide to an all-conquering aesthetic . . . Baker deserves a toast - preferably out of a rhinestone-spangled goblet
