Book Reviews of Shirts & Skin

Book Review: "Shirts & Skin": clothed in disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars

Tim Miller, one-time artistic nemesis of Jesse Helms and other conservative senators out to purge the National Endowment for the Arts of "objectionable" grant recipients, misses a real opportunity in "Shirts & Skin." A collection of essays and remembrances in rough chronological order, the book is intended to act as an artistic and personal memoir. What it winds up being is a journey towards Miller's realization that having two boyfriends is fun. He almost never discusses his work, and then only in extremely vague and short detail. But the minutiae of his open relationship(s), unfortunately, takes up great areas of space. At the end of the book, one wonders why Helms and Co. objected to Miller: he seems boring, rather than subversize. Truly a missed opportunity for author and reader.
