RusticMore than an essay, this book is a cabinet of curiosities or, as its author prefers to classify it, a reliquary. Mixing the rigor of research with the most lighthearted experimentation, Margo Glantz explores the relationship of hair with literature, cinema, music and other cultural manifestations. He also weaves a braid of texts and images that allows him to put the Bible in dialogue with fashion magazines, Hemingway with King Kong, Casanova with Samson, Robinson Crusoe with the hippies.
