Kong fans will go bananas over this collection of essays on
one of film's most powerful and evocative figures. Experts
in the fields of race, gender, evolution, special effects,
and film explore the legend of King Kong from every angle in
this study of the magical and unparalleled original film.
From Why has King Kong affected the American consciousness
so profoundly? to What does the story say about race,
gender, and sexuality? and Why have the sequels failed to
re-create the original's allure?, the essayists examine all
aspects of this landmark film and its impact on society,
culture, and media. Insights into the new version, due out
this year by acclaimed Lord of the Rings director
Peter Jackson, are also included.
