Sexy Beasts

Larry Clark, John Waters and Bruce Hainley on their big, big . . . books

The big question is, of course, “Is sex a legitimate concern for art?” Simply by publishing a book like this, Waters and Hainley give the obvious answer: yes! In fact, Art — A Sex Book is presented in such an academic manner, it wouldn’t be all that surprising if it did become required reading for art students. What a coup that would be for Waters, Mr. Shock Value himself, to be taken seriously in the art world he loves so much . . . to make fun of.

John Waters and Bruce Hainley will appear at Book Soup on Sunday, November 23, at 2 p.m. 8818 Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood; (310) 659-3110.
