Product Description
BENOIT DENIZET-LEWIS, one of the most perceptive and interesting journalists writing today, takes us into some unusual precincts of American society in American Voyeur.

Denizet-Lewis made news with his New York Times Magazine cover story "Double Lives on the Down Low," included here, which ignited a firestorm by revealing a subculture of African-American men who have sex with other men but who don’t consider themselves gay. In American Voyeur, he also takes us inside a summer camp for pro-life teenagers, a New Hampshire town where two young brothers committed suicide, a social group for lipstick lesbians, a middle school where a girl secretly lives as a boy, a college where fraternity boys face the daunting prospect of sobriety, a state where legally married young gay men are turning out to be more like their parents than anyone might have suspected, a high school where dating has been replaced by "hooking up," and other intersections of youth culture and sexuality. Peer behind the curtain of modern American life with this remarkable collection.

Christy L. Kean (Indiana)
Mr. Denizet-Lewis drew me into his "immersion journalism" through his book America Anonymous. I was hooked from the word go. American Voyeur takes us on a journey where we'd be hard pressed to find ourselves welcome in. And perhaps, one we would fail to learn from because of our own judgments or prejudices. The writing style reminds me of oral narrators. I can see Mr. Denizet-Lewis sitting down and telling these stories. The character developments are intriguing and the tales themselves are heartbreaking and brilliant. My only suggestion? I'd love to see entire books devoted to these people. They are small glimpses that leave one wanting more.
