Franklin, Ruth, Depravity's Rainbow; The New Republic Published: Wednesday, May 07, 2008
The majority of missing children are runaways.
Why do children disappear? This is one of the preoccupations of Bock's
novel. Beautiful Children has been discussed as a novel about runaways. But it
is also, even more darkly and more importantly, a novel about pornography and prostitution, those twin pillars that together support
what is euphemistically known as the "adult entertainment industry."

PROTOKOLL - Die Vernehmung und Überführung von Zielperson
Dear Gentlemen, as a German I dare to address you attention in my meager English
to a new book. As the author of "Das Protokoll", I want to let you
know its appearance at Kontrast-Verlag in these days. From a
professional point of view (I am Psychologist), the book reflects some
hysteric and abusive aspects of present discussion about "pedofilia"
in Western Society.

Review of
Giroux, Henry A., Stealing Innocence:
corporate culture's war on children, 9.99
Childhood is a social construction as well as a biological process. Parents,
increasingly backed up by the state, have always tended to raise children in the
light of what they believe others will expect of them in later life, with such
expectations varying according to family wealth and prevailing cultural and
economic norms.

reclaiming the right of women to enjoy the beauty of boys.

About
Levine, Justine, Harmful for Minors, The Perils of Protecting Children from Sex,
Harmful to Minors will
make a much needed and significant intervention into discussions of children's
sexuality, adult fears and irrationality about the same, and about the moral,
political, and public health risks of failing to come to grips with this
culture's anxiety and ignorance about children's erotic desires and needs. This
work is extraordinarily informed and wittily incisive—in addition to academics
and professionals, our hope is that this book will engage adult and perhaps teen
readers, and be reassuring to parents.

Levine, Judith: [Levine:] " The fact is that teenagers have sexual lives, and that a fair number of
them, probably millions every day, are actually involved in what would legally be called statutory rape situations. Most kids, you
know, if that were so harmful, we would see a lot more sexual misery among teenagers. So, my tendency would be to look at this from a
child welfare standard rather than a kind of criminal standard." [...] |

When this volume first appeared in 1966, it fit the
liberal times. Its sneering tone at mainstream United States culture reflected
the East coast author's superior attitude of knowing what was best for the
population of far-away Boise, Idaho. His goal was to inflict heterosexual guilt
on the locality, to impugn the character and motivations of the local elites and
the established Idaho social order, and to force social change onto a
"backward" area of the country. As such, The Boys of Boise
is a cultural relic of the social liberalism of the 1960s.
O'Carroll,
Tom, Paedophilia, the Radical Case, 1980 (External link)
Considering the passions the subject generates, there are surprisingly
few books on paedophilia. It may be that some 'professionals' - psychiatrists,
criminologists and the like - are reluctant to express too great an interest for
fear of being thought prurient, or self-interested. Their contribution tends to
be confined to articles in specialist journals, or the odd page or two in huge
textbooks on 'abnormal' psychology.
Except covertly, in novels and poems, there have been few contributions from
paedophiles either, for the very good reason that being an 'out' paedophile in
our society is a hazardous business. In any case the taboo against paedophilia
has rendered it literally 'unspeakable' (hence 'unwriteable') except when
referred to in the most denunciatory terms.
I am a paedophile, and in the chapters that follow it will become apparent why I
have felt it necessary to crash through the barriers of societal disapproval by
speaking out.

Review of
Robson, Catherine, Men in Wonderland:
The Lost Girlhood of the Victorian Gentleman
Fascination with little girls pervaded Victorian culture. For many, girls
represented the true essence of childhood or bygone times of innocence; but for
middle-class men, especially writers, the interest ran much deeper. In *Men in
Wonderland*, Catherine Robson explores the ways in which various
nineteenth-century British male authors constructed girlhood, and analyzes the
nature of their investment in the figure of the girl. In so doing, she reveals
the link between the idealization of little girls and a widespread fantasy of
male development -- a myth suggesting that men become masculine only after an
initial feminine stage, lived out in the protective environment of the nursery.
Little girls, argues Robson, thus offer an adult male the best opportunity to
reconnect with his own lost self.
About
Roiphe, Katie, ... [title unknown: book about Lewiss Carroll:
'Alice' author exposed; Alice Liddell posed
for Lewis Carroll BBC News, 31 October 2001
US feminist Katie Roiphe has written a novel based on the relationship between
Alice In Wonderland author Lewis Carroll and his child muse.
It is well known that Carroll, whose real name was Charles Dodgson, admired
Alice Liddell, the inspiration for his famous book.
But Roiphe's novel portrays the relationship in sexual terms, with Carroll
struggling with feelings about 11-year-old Alice, which tormented him because he
was determined not to act on his physical urges.

what happened, it incorporates my values and ideas and what I see the law
meaning for broader social and legal questions.
About
Waiton, Stuart, Scared of the Kids?
Curfews, crime and the regulation of young people, May 2001.
Scared of the Kids? is a thorough examination of the lives of and
relationships between young people and adults within communities today. The book
is recommended as an important overview or anybody working within the community
– especially those working with children, young people and families.
A key question the author addresses is "How should those of us working
in the community deal with the levels of fear and insecurity that exists between
the generations?"
Wilson, Paul, The
Man They Called A Monster, Sexual experiences between men and boys;
Cassell Australia Limited, 1981 [External link]
One of the last taboos left in this age of sexual openness is the prohibition
against sex between adults and children. Indeed, men who engage in sex with
young males or females are treated as modern day folk-devils, deserving society
s severest and most draconian punishment.
Clarence Osborne was a 56-year-old Australian court reporter who regularly had
sex with young boys and adolescents. Indeed, this mild, frail-looking man was
able to have sexual adventures with 2500 adolescent males, most of whom appeared
willing to physically and emotionally relate to him.
In exploring the life of this sexual pied-piper, Wilson raises questions about
sexuality that are bound to make this book a highly controversial one. The
questions challenge conventional wisdom: [...]
