Inscrivez-vous à LibraryThing pour découvrir si vous aimerez ce livre Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. I have loved reading this author's fiction books. The titles are classic: Moist, Salty, Raw, Baked, Delicious, and while they seem like they would be raunchy they aren't. I knew he had written a book about the cannabis cup, but I had zero interest in reading about potheads, so I skipped it. Recently I saw this book on clearance and bought it. Everything you could possibly want to know about nudists, nudism, hiking, cruising, shopping, and dining in the nude. What it's like to go to a resort with 50,000 people who are also nude- except at night when they break out the leather/rubber fetish wear, r the really slutty attire. The book is informative, and it is funny without being snarky, condescending, or making fun of the people who are into it. Some of the chapters especially the history ones are a bit long but overall it was a look inside a movement if you will, that I had no idea existed, or what it was about. Naked at Lunch Rules: 1. Nudism is encouraged. 2. Photography is NOT permitted. 3. Sit on a towel. Whether it's a book about marijuana or nudists, John Haskell Smith takes his research very seriously and inserts himself into the lifestyle. Near the beginning of Naked At Lunch, Smith includes a comment his wife makes about his decision to write a book on nudism and it's culture: "First you're stoned all the time and now you're going to be naked? Why can't you write a book about cheese? You like cheese." Have you ever wondered how awkward it would be to visit a nudist resort and sit there naked with a bunch of other naked people? I can honestly say I have wondered how the people there feel comfortable enough to bare it all and strut their stuff. This book is hilarious. The adventures the author experienced are funny, but the snarky way he writes about them takes it to a whole other level. Naked at Lunch Rules 1. Nudism is encouraged. 2.

Needed something amusing and some of the scenes, though racy at times, were just laugh at loud funny. The history of the non clothing movement, so far back it went and I never had a clue. They even tried to start a clothing optional movement during prohibition and the depression. Guess they had to find din somewhere. His writing style is easy, alternating between humorous and serious as he finds out that maybe people do not have more fun at many of these nudist resorts and that many in this lifestyle are actually senior citizens. So fun and informative but the lifestyle not for me. ARC from Net Galley. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
People have been getting naked in public for reasons other than sex for centuries. But as novelist and narrative journalist Mark Haskell Smith shows inNaked at Lunch, being a nudist is more complicated than simply dropping trou. "Nonsexual social nudism," as it's called, rose to prominence in the late nineteenth century. Intellectuals, outcasts, and health nuts from Victorian England and colonial India to Belle Époque France and Gilded Age Manhattan disrobed and wrote manifestos about the joys of going clothing-free. From stories of ancient Greek athletes slathered in olive oil to the millions of Germans who fled the cities for a naked frolic during the Weimar Republic to American soldiers given "naturist" magazines by the Pentagon in the interest of preventing sexually transmitted diseases, Haskell Smith uncovers nudism's amusing and provocative past. Naked at Lunch is equal parts cultural history and gonzo participatory journalism. Coated in multiple layers of high SPF sunblock, Haskell Smith dives into the nudist world today. He publicly disrobes for the first time in Palm Springs, observes the culture of family nudism in a clothing-free Spanish town, and travels to the largest nudist resort in the world, a hedonist's paradise in the south of France. He reports on San Francisco's controversial ban on public nudity, participates in a weekof naked hiking in the Austrian Alps, and caps off his adventures with a week on the Big Nude Boat, a Caribbean cruise full of nudists.
