The book is divided up into four sections of three articles each, and only the last section is really about seduction and theory as such -- this is also the best section, each article being surprising, insightful, and a pleasure to read. The other sections are variously about Film and Seduction, Psychoanalysis and Seduction, and Literature and Seduction. There's interesting stuff in those sections too (especially the Psychoanalysis one) but nothing as useful to me. ( )
