CAMP The Lie That Tells the Truth Philip Core Foreword by George Melly Camp style, in behaviour, clothing, artistic output or emotions, has never been properly explored or defined. Jean Cocteau, as camp a figure as Paris has ever produced, said in Vanity Fair in 1922, 'I am a lie that tells the truth.' This paradox is the basis of Philip Core's personal definitions of camp, seen from the inside. His savagely witty depictions of more than two centuries of camp find it embodied in personalities and places, objects and artifacts. 256 pages / 150 photos / 245x190mm ISBN 0 85965 044 8 ISBN13 978 0 85965 044 1 Paperback / UK £6.95 / US $14.95 |
