Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the concept of Momism in postwar America, the book examines how maternal influence impacts the development of children, especially sons, amidst societal pressures against homosexuality. Through analysis of four significant works—The Grotto, Suddenly Last Summer, Psycho, and Portnoy's Complaint—van den Oever provides fresh insights into these canonical texts, reflecting on their cultural context and implications for understanding the era's attitudes towards motherhood and sexuality.
