Sex and Real Estate: Why We Love Houses Paperback - 2001
by Marjorie B. Garber
Witty, informative, and thought-provoking, this study ranges through literature, art, film, journalism, criticism, and the hard evidence of everyday experience to provide an acute analysis of the ways in which we think about the places where we hang our hats.
From the jacket flap
Cultural historian Marjorie Garber offers incisive and witty commentary on what men and women today really want in her enlightening study of what may be the most meaningful relationship any of us will ever have.
Real estate has become a form of "yuppie pornography." Hopes of summer romance have given way to hopes of summer homes, and fantasies of Romeo have been replaced by fantasies of remodeling. Even real estate ads are flirtatious in their offers of bedrooms that are sensuous and sinks that are seductive. Thus the house you live in, like the partner you choose, can be everything from your beloved to your dream to a status symbol trophy. Marjorie Garber has fashioned a uniquely fascinating book that is as provocative as it is pleasurable, as erudite as it is entertaining, one sure to make readers consider more closely the rooms in which they live.
