Episode 7

It all began with CREEP, the first book in the trilogy.  In this provocative and engaging book, Jonathan Alexander interweaves personal narrative and cultural analyses to explore what it means to be a creep. 

Calling this work a critical memoir, he draws on his own experiences growing up gay in the deep south, while also interrogating examples from literature and popular film and media, to approach the figure of the creep with some sympathy. 

Ultimately, Alexander argues, a study of creepiness might offer us critical insight into the fundamental perversity of how we live.
