“Detlef Siegfried, in his informative, well-written, and reader-friendly biography of Borneman, separates Borneman’s “biographical illusion” … from the undeniable practical heroism of this paradoxical figure.” • Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung“Excellent … [Siegfried’s] meticulously researched and entertaining biography will be of great value to those with an interest in the German history of sexology and feminism in the revolutionary phase of 1968 and thereafter, in media and communication history, in jazz and cultural history generally, and in the twentieth-century history of the senses.” • German History“Detlef Siegfried’s latest book is an exciting and thoroughly readable biography… Following along with the author is a pleasure, as he relates the life of this ‘jack of all trades’ … without hiding behind dull scholarly prose. Such a book is rare.” • H/Soz/Kult
