The Taxonomical Impulse

So, the book's name that escaped me during class on Wednesday, regarding a similar kind of cataloging as Foucault writes about w/ regard to My Secret Life:

Justin Spring's Secret Historian: The Life and Times of Samuel Steward, Professor, Tattoo Artist, and Sexual Renegade. (2010)


You may check out info/reviews here, if you're interested:

Productively, you can see that the title of this recent book also invokes the idea of "secrecy," even as it tells and tells. Make of this what you will!
