AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Misanthropolology' is 'a kind of twisted social autopsy, examining the stranger cultural rituals we find ourselves performing. Only Eddie Perfect could persuade us of the cathartic nature of tearing the wings off Australia's most sacred blowflies and watching them crawl around the carpet.'
