Description
Celebrate the unapologetically, outrageously CAMP with this vivacious party of 100 people, objects, art movements, and much, much more.   What do Grace Jones, Benjamin Disraeli, Salvador Dali, K-Pop, and a giant art nouveau vase covered in fairies and stuffed with peacock feathers have in common? Answer: they are all, wildly, completely, and utterly ... Camp. Yes, C-A-M-P, that strange, hard-to-define quality. Over the last few decades, Camp has been tucked up in her four-poster, fast asleep. But now, having been roused from slumber by Anna Wintour for the 2019 Met Ball, Camp is back, and she might just be the thing you need to make sense of – and add some humor and irony to – this crazy, all-too-serious world. In this hilarious, era-defining book, author and cultural commentator Simon Doonan gets to grips with Camp. Who is she? Where did she come from, and where did she go? Why is she back? Just who is Susan Sontag when she’s at home?! Beautifully illustrated throughout, the book includes 100 entries that are completely and unapologetically Camp – of course, Dynasty, poodles and RuPaul are here, but vampires, tattoos, Queen Victoria and even cake? Absolutely. Doonan makes the Camp case for these as well. The Camp 100 is a manifesto like no other, a manifesto to turn down the temperature dial and take the world a bit less seriously. In seeing ‘Camp’ in the most unlikely places, this book might revolutionize the way you see the world entirely.
