Americans are notoriously fickle about the naked human body. We’re prudish, prurient and inhibited — but we’re also outrageous. We talk with author Bram Dijkstra about his new book “Naked,” which examines the complex and compelling role nudity plays in American culture.

Guests:

Bram Dijkstra, professor of English literature at UC San Diego, author of "Naked" and other books including "Evil Sisters: The Threat of Female Sexuality and the Cult of Manhood"
