Abstract
This chapter,“British Invasions Post-Bar Mitzvah,” concludes Reading the Male Gaze by revisiting the intellectual and sexual coming-of-age narratives in the first two chapters and reflects on how the twin British invasions of the 1960s–hit songs by the Zombies, the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones, and controversial movies by the English auteurs John Schlesinger and Lindsay Anderson–shaped the author’s coming of age as a male gazer. Subheadings: London Calling; Birdwatching and Stargazing.
