AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"Kasson keeps to an exacting scholarly standard of scrupulous research. But he offers no evidence that Houdini's audiences perceived his escapes as a 'spectacle of the naked male body on trial.' Spectators surely were less likely to come away cheering Houdini's pecs than wondering how he did it."Kasson, John F. is the author of 'Houdini, Tarzan, and the Perfect Man The White Male Body and the Challenge of Modernity in America', published 2002 under ISBN 9780809055470 and ISBN 0809055473.
