SUMMARY:Betsy Prioleau reads from her new book Swoon
DESCRIPTION:Swoon is a glittering pageant of charismatic ladies’ men from Casanova to Lord Byron to Camus to Ashton Kutcher. It challenges every preconceived idea about great lovers and answers one of history’s most vexing questions: what do women want? Contrary to popular myth and dogma\, the men who consistently beguile women belie the familiar stereotypes: satanic rake\, alpha stud\, slick player\, Mr. Nice\, or big-money mogul. As Betsy Prioleau\, author of Seductress\, points out in this surprising\, insightful study\, legendary ladies’ men are a different\, complex species altogether\, often without looks or money. They fit no known template and possess a cache of powerful erotic secrets. With wit and erudition\, Prioleau cuts through the cultural lore and reveals who these master lovers really are and the arts they practice to enswoon women. What she discovers is revolutionary. Using evidence from science\, popular culture\, fiction\, anthropology\, and history\, and from interviews with colorful real-world ladykillers\, Prioleau finds that great seducers share a constellation of unusual traits. Finally\, Prioleau takes stock of the contemporary culture and asks: where are the Casanovas of today? After a critique of the twenty-first-century sexual malaise—the gulf between the sexes and women’s record discontent—she compellingly argues that society needs ladies’ men more than ever. Groundbreaking and provocative\, Swoon is underpinned with sharp analysis\, brilliant research\, and served up with seductive verve.
