Michel Foucault. Read by Julian Lopez-Morillas. Audio Scholar. Two cassettes,
3 hrs., $17.95 ISBN 1-879557-38-X

Darling of the academic and art set, French philosopher Foucault (1926-1984)
is just one of a host of authors whose work is being released as part of Audio
Scholar's new University Press Series. The launch includes selections by
Stephen Hawking, Richard Feynman and Umberto Eco. This tape leads with
Foucault's discussion of how sexuality has become "denatured" in our modern
society. Dwelling on the language of the matter, Foucault deconstructs the
meanings of such words as "rapture," "penetration" and "ecstasy." It's
intellectual dandyism at its most dazzling. The reading by Lopez-Morillas
fully milks the portentous words. Based on the 1977 Cornell Univ. Press
edition. (Oct.)
