Cotkin, George (Professor Emeritus, Professor Emeritus, California Polytechnic State University, San Obispo)
Feast of Excess, in brief vignette chapters of cultural creators, traces the history of excess in American culture, from 1952 to 1974. Such excess, in both direction of the minimal and the maximal, was focused on central concerns about madness, violence, sexuality, confession, performance, and breaking down barriers.
