One of only a handful of substances produced in nature expressly as food, milk is fundamental for infant mammalian nutrition, but is also foundational in human myth and religion. Cabinet issue 62, with a special section on "Milk, " includes Renata Salecl on the psychoanalytical implications of the recent death of a child solely breastfed for the first five years of his life, Jeff Dolven on milk and luminosity, Esther Leslie and Melanie Jackson on the ways in which milk is transformed from primary material to metaphorical excess, and Melanie Tyson on the colonial history of condensed milk. Elsewhere in the issue: Daniel Rosenberg on Maurice Sendak's beloved "Nutshell Library" and the fantasies of book classification, Richard Cooke on the history of live sex shows in Europe and their sudden decline in the 1980s, and an artist project by S. Billie Mandle exploring the varieties of Catholic confessionals.
